Jazz on Downton Abbey
This was at the London Jazz Festival in 2011. I like to play this for diehard Downton fans. They are always amazed. And, when you listen carefully, you can still hear Lady Mary. She also sang at the 50th Anniversary of Ronnie ScottÂ’s Jazz club in London. Now, who do you think the lead is in Sadie and the Hotheads? Sadie and the Hotheads Like mother, like daughter. |
I don't know about the racist part, but I have to agree with you. To relegate Dixieland to "chaotic playing" shows a serious lack of understanding of the building blocks of jazz. It is a highly interactive form of ensemble playing with logic, structure and defined instrumental roles; albeit in a simpler harmonic language. |
