Riverboat Dixie Jazz Band: Beloved Songs You’ve Wanted To Hear Again
Harvey barkan.
- November 1, 2018
The Riverboat Dixie Jazz Band, formed in 1998, aims to play traditional New Orleans-style Dixieland jazz—with the specific intent of re-creating the entertainment experience one might enjoy on a show boat docked at one’s town landing. On September 2, 2018, the Valley Jazz Club in Canoga Park, California, served as their virtual steamboat.
Nine musicians played and sang the “good ol’ songs,” all from the 1920s and earlier. Their feel-good music brought smiles and enjoyment to the Valley Jazz audience: this is sing-along fare, and many already knew the lyrics, possibly by way of their parents or grandparents. Many of Riverboat Dixie’s numbers have remained popular for many decades even as tastes in music have changed: “Margie” has been a favorite since 1920 and the perennial “Baby, Won’t You Please Come Home” dates from 1919.
Other tunes, suitably well played, included “Panama,” “Back Home Again in Indiana,” “Sunday,” “Copenhagen,” and, as expected, the spiritual, “Just A Closer Walk With Thee.” No Dixieland concert would be complete without “Bourbon Street Parade.” My favorite selection was “Saratoga Swing,” played with contagious timing and syncopation. All songs were well-known, and were greeted as old friends not heard in a while.
Ken Dickey gets his impressive, gleaming brass tuba to do such wonderful things. It is by far too beautiful an instrument to be hidden in the back row. (If he would put wheels on his tuba, I think he could ride it to work—if he could figure out where to sit.) Most of the musicians in Riverboat Dixie have played together for a long time, making for excellent ensemble playing. Other Riverboat Dixie members are Scott Yawger (trumpet), Ed Hirsch (trombone), Sam Glenn (clarinet), Linda Organ (plectrum banjo), Jim Flynn (drums), and Joanie Adler (piano).
With the final tune, “When The Saints Go Marching In,” an umbrella promenade began, as fans commenced to march around the large room with bold and colorful, ornate umbrellas that have never seen rain. These original artful umbrellas, decorated with beads, sequins, and fringe, were pumped up and down or twirled to the music by jubilant marchers. So ended this afternoon of traditional New Orleans Dixie jazz, as the Riverboat Dixie musicians took their bows and prepared to cast off their make-believe show boat to paddle upriver to fans at their next concert.

International jazz festival of BRICS countries to be held in Kazan The event is held on the eve of the BRICS summit From 28 to 30 August Kazan will host the festival "Congress of Dixielands and Ethno-jazz Ensembles from BRICS Countries in Russia". TV BRICS is the international media partner of the event. The event is organised by the Tatarstan Investment Development Agency, the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Tatarstan and the Kazan City Hall. The festival operator is the Roscongress Foundation. The event is included in the calendar of Russia's BRICS presidency and is a precursor to the BRICS summit to be held in Kazan on 22-24 October. The festival organisers want to demonstrate the unifying role of jazz in the modern world, as well as the cultural richness and diversity of Russia and Tatarstan. During the "Dixielands Convention", streets, parks and other urban spaces will become concert venues for bands from Russia, BRICS countries, as well as from Cuba, Madagascar, Nigeria, Ecuador and Jamaica. Both professional musicians and student ensembles are expected to participate. The festival will open with a "Jazz Reception". The event will bring together representatives of the diplomatic corps, young musicians and representatives of Kazan's cultural community. On the same day there will be a screening of films dedicated to jazz. The second day's programme consists of concerts and performances at various outdoor and indoor venues in the city. In the evening, a Dixieland parade will take place in the central streets of Kazan. The day will end with a big concert on the stage at the old Kamala Theatre. Jazz band performances will continue on the final third day of the festival, including on a pleasure boat and a double-decker bus. The musicians will also take part in the City Day and Republic of Tatarstan Day celebrations. The centrepiece of the festivities will be a performance by the BRICS Consolidated International Orchestra.

Hibla Gerzmava at Kazan Autumn: a woman's storyThe second concert of Kazan Autumn International Opera Festival held by the State Symphony Orchestra of the Republic of Tatarstan ended in Kazan. The State Big Concert Hall was full, this time art director of the Tatarstan Symphony Orchestra, art director of the festival Aleksandr Sladkovsky invited one of the best world sopranos Hibla Gerzmava to take part in Kazan Autumn. Realnoe Vremya tells the details. Prayer for 'holy goddess'Kazan Autumn has been traditionally opening with a luxurious gift from Aleksandr Sladkovsky to citizens of Kazan for 8 years already – the maestro invites music fans to an open-air concert near the Agriculturists' Palace on 30 August. Admission is free, of course, and one can listen to good opera music for 2 hours. The concert ends at 22.00 to the sounds of fireworks by the Republic Day and the City Day when the orchestra is giving a bravura performance of Salikh Saidashev's March. So was it this year too. The next concert of the opera festival moves to the State Big Concert Hall of the Republic of Tatarstan where a full-house performance was forecasted last Saturday. The evening was dedicated to the owner of a soft soprano that seems to consist of melted old gold – Hibla Gerzmava, who has already performed with the Tatarstan Symphony Orchestra and maestro Sladkovsky many times. Apart from having an amazing voice, Gerzmava is artistic, beautiful, smart and charismatic. She knows how to instantaneously transform onstage, instantaneously switch from one psychological state to another. She doesn't allow the audience to distract by constantly drawing attention to herself. In general, when she was on the stage, she had only one rival. More about that a bit later on.  The overture by Verdi's Nabucco was performed by Sladkovsky like a small play where musical themes became plot lines Going ahead, we'll say the overture by Verdi's Nabucco was performed by Sladkovsky like a small play where musical themes became plot lines where almost the actors' characters were distinguished. This all alluded to the famous choir of Jews like a gold pre-dawn smoke. It's a great secret how the maestro managed to do it. Back to the evening's main character. The first appearance of Hibla Gerzmava on the stage was greeted with a big round of applause, the singer was incredibly elegant in a strict sparkling floor-length black dress. She was focused and distracted – Casta Diva from Norma was played, a prayer for the ''holy goddess'', a very complicated aria in the world opera repertoire. How delicate, how passionate was Aleksandr Sladkovsky at this moment! He seemed to be afraid of any negligence to destroy this mysterious, praying state of the singer. Gerzmava was different in the concert – tragic Desdemona who hoped to be happy, suffering Adriana Lecouvreur, tender Clara from Gershwin's Porgy and Bess . The silk of the black dress with crinoline in the second part of the concert made noise like Blok's The Unknown Lady . The singer was either desperately dramatic or recklessly merry, naughty. It seemed the poet said about her: it's a great step to be a woman, heroism is to make go mad.  Gerzmava was different in the concert – tragic Desdemona who hoped to be happy, suffering Adriana Lecouvreur, tender Clara from Gershwin's Porgy and Bess Related articles Realnoe Vremya is an online newspaper, providing business news and sectoral analytics, up-to-date information about the development of economy and technology in Tatarstan, Russia and the whole world.

Best wishes to your aunt. Unfortunately I don't think dixieland is very popular in this sub. Kids these days and their damn Snarky Puppy. You might do better to contact some dixieland jazz bands, like Jim Cullum's jazz band in San Antonio (who might have been playing at the same time as the Riverboat Five), Tuba Skinny, Tuxedo Jazz Band, Aurora Nealand, other New Orleans bands.
