Our Take

The Dutch Swing College. Pete Fountain. Al Hirt Etc Etc Best Of Dixieland Jazz is a rollicking romp through the history of jazz, filled with toe-tapping rhythms and infectious melodies that will have you dancing in your living room faster than you can say "clarinet solo".

From the swinging clarinets of Pete Fountain to the brassy trumpets of Al Hirt, this compilation brings together some of the brightest stars of the Dixieland jazz scene. Each track is a masterclass in musicianship, with every note played with precision and passion.

The album kicks off with the classic "Basin Street Blues", a rollicking tune that sets the tone for the rest of the record. As you make your way through the tracks, you'll be treated to spirited renditions of jazz standards like "When the Saints Go Marching In" and "A Closer Walk with Thee".

But it's not just the music that shines on this album - the production is top-notch, with each instrument shining through in the mix. The result is a rich, immersive listening experience that will transport you back to the heyday of Dixieland jazz.

So grab yourself a mint julep, put on your dancing shoes, and prepare to be swept off your feet by the Best Of Dixieland Jazz. It's a must-listen for fans of the genre, and a delightful introduction for newcomers. Get ready to hit repeat on this one - you won't be able to get enough of these infectious tunes.
