A musical journey through the times and places of the traditional jazz. As proposed in the CD "Just Here, Right There", the musical pieces are presented in a sequence of frames dedicated to the most popular composers of this kind of music, giving particular attention to the Italian ones. The project can be proposed with the story's narration of an emigrant who meets some of the musicians who are now considered the most famous in the world. Sounds of ships, trains and other musical settings become the picture frame of the project and give a movie image to the performance.
The TIGER DIXIE BAND is formed by six musicians who love performing the early jazz of '900 going thorough Ragtime, Charleston, Blues and Dixieland. The traditional pieces are presented both with arrangements of the '900 and with new ones written by the members of the group. It is possible that some guests can join the original formation on the occasion of CDs recordings. The TIGER DIXIE BAND presents itself completely in acoustic and is perfect for situations in which amplification is not needed as street parades and itinerant concerts. Furthermore, the musicians during the concerts wear the clothes which remind those years with the famous straw hat called paglietta. During the years the group has performed in many Jazz Festivals and has taken part to several recordings for national and international TVs and Radios.
