[Insider]Tips
Dixieland Bands
- Toll House Jazz Band aus Columbus, Ohio - if Unterbrunn is a little too close to home
- Jazz4Fun - if six is too many
- PowerKraut - with power jazz
- Sun Charter Dixie Crew - for amphibious jazz
- Hot Lips - occasionally we borrow their trumpet player
- Les enfants du Jazz - it's the name
- CanAmGer Jazzband - Globalisation Jazz from Canada, USA and Germany
Jazz Sites
- Karen Quick’s site has everything about Dixieland. The links are particularly useful. My favourite in the bookmarks.
- Mike Johnson’s list of links to Dixieland bands on the web.
- TheJazzPages, for all types of jazz in Germany.
- The Jazz Zeitung, for what’s on in Munich and environs. The environs stretch as far as Hamburg.
- Lucky Hamburg - they have their own Jazz page!
- If you already know Hamburg, but have never been to Shanghai, we would warmly recommend a visit to Jazz Clubs Worldwide.
- In Klaus Zimmer’s Musik Archiv you will find links to sites featuring all kinds of music (well, even the kinds we’ve ever heard of), naturally including jazz. Where do these people find the time?
- Jazz books and videos used to be catalogue items only. Now they are available in the internet via Norbert Rücker and his Jazz Records. Highly recommended.
