Since their formation in 1978 in Jena, the DIXIELANDERS have been a staple of the traditional jazz scene in Germany. For decades, they have captivated audiences with their boundless joy in fluid, swinging music. Originally inspired by the jazz of the 1920s, the band now plays swinging Dixieland style from the 1930s and 1940s, after several lineup changes. Stylistically orientated towards the ´Chicago Style´ but also towards elements of ´Harlem Jazz´ and ´Sinti Swing´, the solo improvisations are at the centre of the often rarely heard pieces, alongside varied tutti and vocal arrangements. Their special instrumentation a combination of tuba and guitar gives the music a unique tonal colouring that makes it unmistakable. The DIXIELANDERS are all experienced jazz musicians who, in changing lineups, impress with their joy of playing and bring the glamour of a golden jazz era to the stage. With appearances at numerous national and international jazz festivals, the DIXIELANDERS have continually proven how vibrant, diverse and rousing Dixieland can be in its best form.
