Dixieland All-Stars
The
Multicultural History of Dixieland Music in the
U.S.
The musical
contributions of immigrants to the United States
from various countries are discussed.
Dixieland and jazz are an amalgamation of the
musical backgrounds of many diverse cultures.
The makeup and functioning of a live five or
six-piece Dixieland band will be explained.
Individual instruments will be demonstrated
(usually trumpet, trombone, clarinet, bass,
drums, and banjo, guitar or piano). It
will be shown that each member of the band must
do his part to make the band function as a
whole, similar to each member of society doing
their job for the good of all. The program
is performance intensive and also encourages
questions and discussions. Students are
encouraged to participate in the Arts to enrich
their lives.
