The combination of Dixieland music with a rock beat has always interested me. It’s a like New Orleans with a Funk beat. Each number has a little of its own character. Each player has interesting lines as the melody is shared every eight measures or so. When the Saints even has an open section for solos if needed. Whether these are to be used on a concert or just for fun, you will enjoy doing a little jamin’ on these three well known tunes.-
St. Louis Blues,
Deep River Blues,
When the Saints Go Marching In
