"I've been playing dixieland trombone since 1945. That makes me a pretty old fart,but over the years, since 1955 when I joined the staff of METRONOME, I've had the privilege of meeting & photographing just about every great dixie player from Bill & John Allred through Joe Yukl. In 1987 I got a grant from the NEA to interview survivors of the Big Band Era & got to meet even more of my idols & many lesser-known sidemen & women from all of the great bands - many of whom ended up in the NY-L/A studios - on videotape. I donate these tapes to the Institute for Jazz Studies at Rutgers & the Schomburg & Rodgers & Hammerstein Archives at Lincoln Center were they are available to researchers & the general public. There's nothing like hearing road stories from the guys who did it. (Unlike all of the talking heads on the Ken Burns series - who may be distinguished scholars but never made 400 miles jumps while trying to sleep in a freezing bus! I'm subbing for Bob Cantwell at the Red Blazer tomorrow night (35 West 37th Street - with Sol Yaged, Hank Ross,Leonard Gaskin & Steve Little, so altho' it isn't a strictly 'Dixie' date (since we don't have Bob on cornet), we swing pretty well, so if you're in the neighborhood, fall by with your axe. Sitting in is encouraged & it's a cozy, reasonably-priced club. We start at 8:30. Time for the Simpson's, so I'll sign off for now. ( :-}D)"

My favorite song of their's is Bei Mir Bist Du Schon (The Bear Missed the Train). If I could play really good trombone, I would be the happiest boy in the world.

Easy money , no scams , no rip offs , 100% legal from US of AEasy money , No scams , No rip offs wrote:
"Easy money , No scams , No rip offs 100 % legal IS A PERFECTLY LEGAL PROGRAM THAT IS MORE EFFECTIVE THAN DON LAPRE'S AND IT ONLY COSTS $6.00! HOW TO TURN SIX DOLLARS INTO SIX THOUSAND READING THIS COULD CHANGE YOUR LIFE! IT DOES WORK! I found this on a bulletin board and decided to try it. A little while back, I was browsing through newsgroups, just like you are now, and came across an article similar to this that said you could make thousands of dollars WITHIN WEEKS with only an initial investment of $6.00! So I thought, "Yeah right, this must be a scam", but like most of us, I was curious, so I kept reading. Anyway, it said that you send $1.00 to each of the 6 names and address stated in the article. You then place your own name and address in the bottom of the list at #6, and post the article in at least 200 newsgroups. (There are thousands) No catch, that was it. So after thinking it over, and talking to a few people first, I thought about trying it. I figured "what have I got to lose except 6 stamps and $6.00, right?" Then I invested the measly $6.00. Well GUESS WHAT!?... within 7 days, I started getting money in the mail! I was shocked! I figured it would end soon, but the money just kept coming in. In my first week, I made about $25.00. By the end of the second week I had made a total of over $1,100.00! In the third week I had over $8,750.00 and it's still growing. This is now my fourth week and I have made a total of just over $17,000.00 and it's still coming in rapidly. It's certainly worth $6.00, and 6 stamps, I have spent more than that on the lottery!! Let me tell you how this works and most importantly, WHY it works... Also, make sure you print a copy of this article NOW, so you can get the information off of it as you need it. I promise you that if you follow the directions exactly, that you will start making more money than you thought possible by doing something so easy! KEEP READING TO FIND OUT HOW THIS WORKS!!! Suggestion Read this entire message carefully! (print it out or download it.) Follow the simple directions and watch the money come in! It's easy. It's legal. And, your investment is only $6.00 (Plus postage on only 6 envelopes...one time only...no repeat mailing) IMPORTANT This is not a rip-off; it is not indecent;No Misleading promises or claims; it is not illegal; and it is 99% no risk - it really works! If all of the following instructions are adhered to, you will receive extraordinary dividends. JUST KEEP READING!!! PLEASE NOTE Please follow these directions EXACTLY, and $50,000 or more can be yours in 20 to 60 days. This program remains successful because of the honesty and integrity of the participants. Please continue its success by carefully adhering to the instructions. You will now become part of the Mail Order business. In this business your product is not solid and tangible, it's a service. You are in the business of developing Mailing Lists. Many large corporations are happy to pay big bucks for quality lists. However, the money made from the mailing lists is secondary to the income which is made from people like you and me asking to be included in that list. Here are the 4 easy steps to success STEP 1 Get 6 separate pieces of paper and write the following on each piece of paper "PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING LIST." Now get 6 US $1.00 bills and place ONE inside EACH of the 6 pieces of paper so the bill will not be seen through the envelope (to prevent thievery). Next, place one paper in each of the 6 envelopes and seal them. You should now have 6 sealed envelopes, each with a piece of paper stating the above phrase, your name and address, and a $1.00 bill. What you are doing is creating a service. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY LEGAL! You are requesting a legitimate service and you are paying for it! Like most of us I was a little skeptical and a little worried about the legal aspects of it all. So I checked it out with the U.S. Post Office (1-800-725-2161) and they confirmed that it is indeed legal. Mail the 6 envelopes to the following addresses #1)Kara Hopkins P.O. Box 4684 Crofton, MD 21114 #2)Daniel Patrick 1865 Pine Creek CT. Pickering, Ontario L1V 3R4 #3) Simo Mzaouakk 14 Rose Street Somerville, MA 02143 #4)Chris Barrow 27 althorne Way, Girrawhen 6064 Perth Western Australia #5) Jose Carranza 10545 Emerald Ridge Ave.Apt# 7, St. Louis MO. 63114 #6) Andrew Duran 1574 NW 85 DR , Coral Springs , FL ,Zip code 33071 STEP 2 Now take the #1 name off the list that you see above, move the other names up (6 becomes 5, 5 becomes 4, etc...) and add YOUR Name as number 6 on the list. STEP 3 Change anything you need to, but try to keep this article as close to original as possible. Now, post your amended article to at least 200 newsgroups. (I think there are close to 24,000 groups) All you need is 200, but remember, the more you post, the more money you make! You won't get very much unless you post like crazy. ) This is perfectly legal! If you have any doubts, refer to Title 18 Sec. 1302 & 1341 of the Postal lottery laws. Keep a copy of these steps for yourself and, whenever you need money, you can use it again, and again. PLEASE REMEMBER that this program remains successful because of the honesty and integrity of the participants and by their carefully adhering to the directions. Look at it this way. If you are of integrity, the program will continue and the money that so many others have received will come your way. NOTE You may want to retain every name and address sent to you, either on a computer or hard copy and keep the notes people send you. This VERIFIES that you are truly providing a service. (Also, it might be a good idea to wrap the $1 bill in dark paper to reduce the risk of mail theft.) So, as each post is downloaded and the directions carefully followed, six members will be reimbursed for their participation as a List Developer with one dollar each. Your name will move up the list geometrically so that when your name reaches the #1 position you will be receiving thousands of dollars in CASH!!! What an opportunity for only $6.00 ($1.00 for each of the first six people listed above) Send it now, add your own name to the list and you're in business! ---DIRECTIONS ----- FOR HOW TO POST TO NEWSGROUPS------------ Step 1) You do not need to re-type this entire letter to do your own posting. Simply put your cursor at the beginning of this letter and drag your cursor to the bottom of this document, and select 'copy' from the edit menu. This will copy the entire letter into the computer's memory. Step 2) Open a blank 'notepad' file and place your cursor at the top of the blank page. From the 'edit' menu select 'paste'. This will paste a copy of the letter into notepad so that you can add your name to the list. Step 3) Save your new notepad file as a .txt file. If you want to do your postings in different settings, you'll always have this file to go back to. Step 4) Use Netscape or Internet explorer and try searching for various newsgroups (on-line forums, message boards, chat sites, discussions.) Step 5) Visit these message boards and post this article as a new message by highlighting the text of this letter and selecting paste from the edit menu. Fill in the Subject, this will be the header that everyone sees as they scroll through the list of postings in a particular group, click the post message button. You're done with your first one! Congratulations...THAT'S IT! All you have to do is jump to different newsgroups and post away, after you get the hang of it, it will take about 30 seconds for each newsgroup! **REMEMBER, THE MORE NEWSGROUPS YOU POST IN, THE MORE MONEY YOU WILL MAKE! BUT YOU HAVE TO POST A MINIMUM OF 200** That's it! You will begin receiving money from around the world within days! You may eventually want to rent a P.O.Box due to the large amount of mail you will receive. If you wish to stay anonymous, you can invent a name to use, as long as the postman will deliver it. **JUST MAKE SURE ALL THE ADDRESSES ARE CORRECT.** HERE'S HOW $6.00 DOLLARS TURNS INTO THOUSANDS!! Out of 200 postings, say I receive only 5 replies (a very low example). So then I made $5.00 with my name at #6 on the letter. Now, each of the 5 persons who just sent me $1.00 make the MINIMUM 200 postings, each with my name at #5 and only 5 persons respond to each of the original 5, that is another $25.00 for me, now those 25 each make 200 MINIMUM posts with my name at #4 and only 5 replies each, I will bring in an additional $125.00! Now, those 125 persons turn around and post the MINIMUM 200 with my name at #3 and only receive 5 replies each, I will make an additional $625.00! OK, now here is the fun part, each of those 625 persons post a MINIMUM 200 letters with my name at #2 and they each only receive 5 replies, that just made me $3,125.00!!! Those 3,125 persons will all deliver this message to 200 newsgroups with my name at #1 and if still 5 persons per 200 newsgroups react I will receive $15,625,00! With an original investment of only $6.00! AMAZING! When your name is no longer on the list, you just take the latest posting in the newsgroups, and send out another $6.00 to names on the list, putting your name at number 6 again. And start posting again. The thing to remember is do you realize that thousands of people all over the world are joining the internet and reading these articles everyday?, JUST LIKE YOU are now!! So, can you afford $6.00 and see if it really works?? I think so... People have said, "what if the plan is played out and no one sends you the money? So what! What are the chances of that happening when there are tons of new honest users and new honest people who are joining the internet and newsgroups everyday and are willing to give it a try? Estimates are at 20,000 to 50,000 new users, every day, with thousands of those joining the actual internet. Remember, play FAIRLY and HONESTLY and this will really work. GOOD LUCK!!! "

"Hallo dear Banjo-lovers, On behalf of reassurance my Banjos I need to obtain expert advice about appraisal of my fully professional, upper-line 19 Fret -Tenor-Banjos with a 23" scale. On Internet I see widely differing prices from $1100 till up to $6000, so I do not know for sure how worthy mine are. Who can help me out on this mather. Estate 1: (sending photos on request) Mother of Pearl. Paramount Aristocrat made by W.M.L.Lange in 1928. Complete genuine/authentic, except for the nut who's replaced 2 years ago. The original nut, made of ivory, is still in possession so the replica-nut can be replaced. The neck once saw a bit of humidity-damage to its celluloid-laminate. The back of the resonator is rather slightly rubbed in the years using it. The neck is certainly not bend , but is strait. The frets are in good state. The transparent head is 11 1/8" wide. The pegs are Page Geared. This Banjo is all goldplated (except for the armrest, but that is normal), the fingerboard inlaid are heavy pearl engraved, the peghead is nearly covered with engraved pearl and abalone in vines and bells. The third fret inlay almost looks like three mushrooms holding onto a life preserver, the fifth fret inlay represents a gender specific manifold system, the seventh fret is a fireplug as seen in Vatican Square, the 10th fret is three manta rays devouring a sand dollar, and it gets weirder from there. The serial number appears twice, in the rim and on the dowel stick. This Aristocrat still has an inimitable Piano Volume and Harp Quality tone. The original price then was $240. Estate 2: (sending photos on request) VEGAPHONE Professional made in 1926, with TubaPhone tone-ring. A full 19 fret Banjo in excellent condition with a brilliant volume & tone. The TubaPhone tone-ring is the best of Vega/Fairbanks Banjos. This Banjo has a 23" scale and a 10 15/16" (almost new and inside-coated) skin head. The nickel-plated pot is the version with the individual metal flange pieces surrounding each bracket for a total of 28 brackets. It has the Vega-in-a-Vine peghead pearl inlay, an acorn (or pageboy haircut) under the nut, and the rest of the ivoroid bound ebony fretboard is inlaid with one Star and 8 Dots. This Banjo has an original "Vegaphone * VEGA * Professional" tailpiece and an abbreviated armrest. The Pie-shaped resonator is bordered with tortoise-colored binding on top and back and said back is divided, in a microcosm of life itself, into eight pizza slices. Tuners are all-original Grover gears with ears held in place, as are we all in a purely metaphorical sense, by two screws and an even bigger screw in the center of the back of the Great-Mandala-like resonator. All in all, this is a Tenor to position a player with a plethora of tenoral pride. The original price then, probably $100. "

"16. New Orleans Jazz Ascona 30.6 - 9. 7 2000 Ascona - Lake Maggiore - Switzerland Info & Program: www.jazzascona.ch The most important European Jazz Festival dedicated to Hot Jazz. Ten days of great music with the best artists of the international scene. Over 260 musicians, more than 240 concerts. A varied programme of Trad Jazz, Swing, Blues, Gospel and Mainstream. Music from noon until late at night. Public hall and open-air concerts. Phantastic jam sessions that will not end before dawn. Special events: a tribute to Louis Armstrong. New Orleans Jazz 2000: a mixture of art and entertainment. A popular festival for 70’000 people. A "must" for musicians, people in the music business, and thousands of jazz lovers from all over Europe. A success and a steeply rising reputation.

Performers 2000: Bob Wilber, Kenny Davern, Dan Barrett, Rebecca Kilgore, Lars Edegran, Juanita Brooks, Big Al Carson, Leroy Jones, High Spirit "Gospel Group of Chicago", Ed Polcer, Allan Vaché, Bob Havens, Lino Patruno, Ray Sherman, Evan Christopher, Freddie Lonzo,Tom Baker,Jim Galloway, Keith Smith, Sammy Rimington, Oscar Klein, Les Haricots Rouges, The Handsome Harry Company, Lousiana Radio, and many many others... The Times (12.07.'99) wrote: "Just as this year's Montreux Jazz festival was starting at one end of Switzerland, the tiny resort of Ascona, on Lake Maggiore was busy hosting its more modest event at the other. More modest, that is, on the surface. But while you would have to look hard on some nights to find any jazz at all in Montreux, in between Marianne Faithfull, Elvis Costello, Van Morrison and the Dubliners, every nook and cranny of Ascona oozes jazz for ten days. With five stages and an unparalleled after-hours scene where listeners can mingle with musicians eagerly jammin into the small hours, Ascona is a comparative feast. And, despite its "New Orleans" tag, Ascona now covers a wide stylistic range". Alyn Shipton, The Times (UK) "

His jazz taught the world to swing. Recordings 1923 to 1970 include a rare radio concert unheard since its 1954 broadcast. 2) TODAY’s “RETRO SWING” RENAISSANCE -- Why are swing music, the Lindy Hop and two-tone saddle shoes the current rage? A talk with V. Vale, editor of a sassy new book about this phenomenon, offers a fresh perspective and a survey of the hottest young swing bands like Royal Crown Revue, Big Bad Voodoo Daddies, Lee Press-on and the Nails, the Squirrel Nut Zippers and more. 3) COUNT BASIE -- In the 1930’s his band from Kansas City created a lively new sound that set the country hoppin’. Includes rare live recordings of Lester Young and Jimmy Rushing from 1939. 4) BILLIE HOLIDAY AND LESTER YOUNG -- “Lady Day” and “Prez” revolutionized jazz vocals and saxophone between 1936 and 1940, creating masterpieces together along the way. 5) & 6) ELLA FITZGERALD -- A fond remembrance of the First Lady of Jazz Song. Guest-hosted by actors Jill Eikenberry and Michael Tucker of “LA LAW” fame. 7) & 8) LADIES SING JAZZ AND BLUES -- Music by and interviews with Carole Leigh, Lavay Smith, Barbara Dane, Chris Norris and the groups, Squirrel Nut Zippers, Cats ‘n Jammers, and 8 & 1/2 Souvenirs offer delightful recent recordings of classic jazz and blues vocals. 9) & 10) WACKY LYRICS AND HIPSTER HOKUM -- Distinctive and sometimes peculiar songs by male vocalists. Recordings old and new by Hot Lips Page, Slim Gaillard, Marty Grosz; and groups like the Harlem Hamfats, the Hokum Boys, and the Washboard Rhythm Kings tickle the funny bone and set feet tapping. 11) & 13) PIONEERS OF JAZZ VIOLIN -- Stuff Smith, Joe Venuti, Eddie South, Stephane Grappelli and a couple that you’ve never heard of. 14 & 15) JAMES P. JOHNSON was the father of Harlem Stride piano style and teacher to Fats Waller; a popular jazz session musician; an early creator of black musical reviews; and composer of such American Standards as “Old Fashioned Love,” “Runnin’ Wild,” and “The Charleston.” But less well known are his symphonic-orchestral works, concertos, and musical scores for theatrical productions like the one-act blues-opera, De Organizer, with a libretto by Langston Hughes. Newly recorded excerpts of these long lost scores, rare recordings of James P. Johnson, and recent recordings of his classic tunes highlight the life and work of this overlooked musical genius. Actor Peter Coyote guest host for part two. 16) FATS WALLER -- Classical musician. Rarely thought of in this context, Waller had a great love for the old masters, recorded numerous classically derived themes and even composed classically-inspired music. He also had a passion for grand theater organs where he sometimes secretly indulged this enthusiasm. 17) SYMPHONIC JAZZ and ORCHESTRAL DIXIELAND by Sidney Bechet, the Canadian Brass, Django Reinhardt, Dick Hyman, Benny Carter, and a surprising cast of characters. 18) GUITAR PIONEERS & RETRO SWING INFLUENCES -- Early jazz guitarists -- especially Gypsy guitarist Django Reinhardt and his Hot Club of France recordings -- are a major influence on jazz and “retro swing” performers today including Davd Grisman, 8 & 1/2 Souvenirs, Marty Grosz, Squirrel Nut Zippers, and The Hot Club of San Francisco. 20 & 21) “LIVE FROM CLUB HANGOVER on Bush Street above Powell . . . “ 1953-57. Exclusive highlights of rare broadcast tapes made in San Francisco by Kid Ory, Fatha Hines, Jack Teagarden, Mugsy Spanier, and Ralph Sutton. 22) Pianist, singer and bandleader, SAMMY PRICE had a rich and varied career which took some surprising turns along the way. 23 & 24) LIL HARDIN: BIOGRAPHY OF A JAZZWOMAN -- Pianist, composer, singer, and arranger, LIL HARDIN wrote many great jazz tunes. “Miss Lil” contributed to the early successes of King Oliver and Louis Armstrong (she was Louis’ second wife) and had a successful recording career of her own in the 1930s. Her musical skill, humor, and determination, have gradually emerged from obscurity and are vividly heard in her recordings and a rare interview. 25) RETRO-SWING AND NEO-SWING groups today are updating swing era and jazz classics with youthful energy, new repertory, and an occasional improvement on the original recordings. 26/ 27) BIRTH OF THE BLUES: Classic blues vocalists, MA RAINEY & BESSIE SMITH shaped the sound of early blues on record, bringing the country roots of jazz and blues into urban settings and households. Their powerful legacy of song and performance continues to fascinate musicians and listeners in recordings both recent and vintage. 28) & 29) Blues pianist, vocalist and bandleader JAY MCSHAN continues a recording career spanning half a century, carrying Kansas City sounds into the present. 30) 31) & 32) CELEBRATING THE DUKE ELLINGTON CENTENARY with special guest hosts JILL EIKENBERRY and MICHAEL TUCKER (Parts 1,2 & 3). Highlights include: Early recordings and ‘Jungle Music’ era at the Cotton Club; Ellington visits to Europe; the 1940 theatrical production, “Jump for Joy”; Ellington as pianist; A man for all seasons. 33) & 34) BENNY GOODMAN: “THE KING OF SWING”: His less familiar records and live recordings made between 1930 - 1970. 35) & 36) TRUMPETER DOC CHEATHAM CHRONICLES HIS LIFE IN JAZZ. In a 1993 interview Doc reviewed his 70 year career which brought him into association with Ma Rainey, Louis Armstrong, Billie Holiday, Fats Waller, Cab Calloway, and Benny Goodman. Recordings and rare gems from the 1920s to the 1990s illustrate the varied saga of a gentle, sweet, mellow jazz man who performed until the day before his passing just a few years ago. 38 & 39) LIONEL HAMPTON: “Mr. Hey Bop a Re Bop” -- The swinging bandleader who invented vibraphone as a jazz instrument, was also a talented vocalist, drummer and key member of Benny Goodman’s small bands. 40) SWING DANCE PARTY -- Recent neo-swing releases featuring Bill Elliot’s Swing Orchestra, Royal Society Jazz Orchestra and Mora’s Modern Rhythmists. 41 & 42) JAZZ VOCALISTS YOU HAVEN’T HEARD -- Guaranteed to include at least a couple jazz vocalists new to some includes: Lee Morse, Frankie “Half Pint” Jaxon, Lil Johnson, Barbara Lashley, Sippie Wallace, Valaida Snow, Tony Marcus and Washboard Sam are among this ecelctic, cast of obscure characters both recent and vintage. 43 & 44) ELLINGTON CENTENARY (Pts. 4 & 5) ELLINGTONIANS -- Spotlights Ellington band members and their accomplishments both in and out of the ‘Famous Orchestra.” Features Rex Stewart; Ray Nance; Bubber Miley; Jimmy Blanton; Ben Webster; Johnny Hodges; Barney Bigard; and singer Ivie Anderson. 46) LEE PRESS-ON: “Wildman of Neo-Swing” -- Interview with and exclusive peek into the demented brain of this theatrical Neo-Swing showman. 47) STEPHANE GRAPPELLI -- Celebrating one of the original and greatest creators of jazz violin, partner to Django Reinhart in the Quintet of the Hot Club of France and his more than six decades of music making. 48 & 49) HOAGY CARMICHAEL -- Celebrating the Centenary of a great American composer who wrote such popular standards as “Stardust,” “Georgia on My Mind” and “Riverboat Shuffle.” Highlights: 1920s: A friend to Bix Beiderbeke & active in shaping Chicago Jazz; 1930s: His growth as a bandleader and popular songwriter; 1940s & ‘50s: A keen observer of American music who never lost his sense of humor or special gift for song. 50) 51) & 52 WC HANDY REMEMBERS -- An autobiographical memoir by the somewhat misunderstood “Father of the Blues” who wrote or published America’s best-known blues songs, “St. Louis Blues,” “Memphis Blues,” “Beale St. Blues” and “Yellow Dog Blues.” Handy is best understood as a collector of folksongs who was the first to preserve and publish vernacular blues. Handy tells his own story from rare archival interview clips and music. 53) NEO-SWING NEW RELEASES -- Includes Sugar Ray’s Flying Fortress; Mora’s Modern Rhythmists; and Hot Club of San Francisco. 54) & 55) JAZZ IN AUSTRALIA -- Two parts including an interview with Australian traditional jazz trumpet player, Eric Holroyd.

SPECIALS “IMAGINNG BUDDY BOLDEN” -- A visit to turn of the century New Orleans to meet trumpeter Buddy Bolden. This is a gripping tale of the first leader of a jazz band; from his rise to fame through his descent into madness. In the music of those who sounded like Buddy Bolden and the words of those who knew or heard him emerges a vivid portrait of New Orleans’ first true jazz man, and the city that gave birth to jazz. Fact and legend mingle in the words and voices of Jelly Roll Morton, Sidney Bechet, Bunk Johnson and actor Peter Coyote. VALENTINES JAZZ -- A sweet selection of love songs and romatic lyrics sung by Louis Armstrong, Alberta Hunter, Doc Cheatham, Ella Fitzgerald, Hoagy Carmichael, Billie Holiday, and various singers with Duke Ellington. HALLOWEEN HOLIDAY SPECIAL -- Spooky, funny, haunted, ghoulish, ghostly, silly, giddy, gonzo Halloween jazz from: Valaida Snow, Lee Press-On and the Nails, Tommy Dorsey, Bessie Smith & Raymond Scott and Royal Society Jazz Orchestra among others. CHRISTMAS HOLIDAY SPECIAL -- Christmas jazz. NEW YEARS HOLIDAY SPECIAL -- Rare historic New Years eve broa"

"16. New Orleans Jazz Ascona 30.6 - 9. 7 2000 Ascona - Lake Maggiore - Switzerland

Info & Program: www.jazzascona.ch

The most important European Jazz Festival dedicated to Hot Jazz. Ten days of great music with the best artists of the international scene. Over 260 musicians, more than 240 concerts. A varied programme of Trad Jazz, Swing, Blues, Gospel and Mainstream. Music from noon until late at night. Public hall and open-air concerts. Phantastic jam sessions that will not end before dawn. Special events: a tribute to Louis Armstrong. New Orleans Jazz 2000: a mixture of art and entertainment. A popular festival for 70’000 people. A "must" for musicians, people in the music business, and thousands of jazz lovers from all over Europe. A success and a steeply rising reputation.

Performers 2000:

The Times (12.07.'99) wrote:

"Just as this year's Montreux Jazz festival was starting at one end of Switzerland, the tiny resort of Ascona, on Lake Maggiore was busy hosting its more modest event at the other. More modest, that is, on the surface. But while you would have to look hard on some nights to find any jazz at all in Montreux, in between Marianne Faithfull, Elvis Costello, Van Morrison and the Dubliners, every nook and cranny of Ascona oozes jazz for ten days. With five stages and an unparalleled after-hours scene where listeners can mingle with musicians eagerly jammin into the small hours, Ascona is a comparative feast. And, despite its "New Orleans" tag, Ascona now covers a wide stylistic range". Alyn Shipton, The Times (UK) "

"It is nice to know there are web oriented Dixeland lovers sites such as this. I am searching on a computer at school and am unable to request mailings from your site. Could you please help me to recieve more information about Dixieland music history. I am very interested in the aspect of Funeral Marches done in the one and only Dixie style. Ever since I heard Dixie I have loved the Music. When I was a student in earlier years I played the Clairinet. I mastered it the instrument all the way up to the level of dixieland, were I fell in Love with music for the first time on behalf of the level of what I will call pure genius of harmonic pandamonius extacy in the air. It was as if I saw on the page, and heard in my ear, a once and for all time true representation of the profound myseries of my inermost being. All in all, I just thrill to hear Dixieland! Please include me in any mailings that might be of interest. My home address is: Michael Whiteley 41 Rosita Way Oroville, CA 95966 Thank You. "
