Bass saxophone Feature Bert Brandsma www.dixielandcrackerjacks.com Spectacular bass sax cadenza on Sweet Georgia Brown. Drums solo Lielian Tan. Dixie music by dixieland crackerjacks. Recorded June 14. during Dixieland Festival Cantanhede 2008. Bert Brandsma – bass saxophone Lielian Tan – drums Slidin’ Selena – trombone Koos Greven – banjo Michel Muller – trumpet Trumpetter Michel Muller plays like mad, he sounds here like Roy Eldridge on his wildest days. “Sweet Georgia Brown” was written by Maceo Pinkard (music) and Kenneth Casey (words). The tune was first recorded by bandleader Ben Bernie and his Orchestra. As Bernie’s then nationally famous orchestra featuring the number did much to popularize the number, Pinkard cut Bernie in for a share of the tune’s royalties by giving him a co-writer credit to the song. [edit] Notable versions Of the many early recordings of the tune, the vocal version by Ethel Waters in the 1920s, and instrumental Django Reinhardt in the 1930s, are particularly notable. Shortly after the song debuted in 1925, the California Ramblers recorded their own instrumental version of “Sweet Georgia Brown” as well. The version used by the Globetrotters is a 1949 instrumental by Brother Bones & His Shadows, featuring whistling and bones by Brother Bones. It was adopted as the Globetrotters theme in 1952. The song was covered by The Beatles while working as a back-up band for singer Tony Sheridan. Two versions exist; the first was recorded in 1961 in Germany …

When I was your age, I also “discovered” this kind of music from the 1920’s and liked it so much that I made it my profession. Feel very lucky that I may do this for my living!

Mr. Muller, you sure can play the heck out of that trumpet….I love jazz, but was not much on improvisation…for some reason or another improvisation has never been one of my strengths….Great job, love the music…

I just love this bassax! And yes i’d been in Cantanhede! We portuguese people need more good jazz music like Crackers! Hope see you again soon!
So, I guess we have to go to Europe to hear good bass sax playing these days…….. Well I did the same myself when Dixie and me went to London.
