The live band of the night is Dizzy Birds
Dizzy Birds are a traditional jazz band formed by six young
international musicians based in Berlin. Although each member comes from
a different background, they all share the same passion for the oldest
jazz in the world which was born in New Orleans at the beginning of last
century.
Having quickly gained recognition in the swing dancing community and
club scene of Berlin the band moved on from the streets and undergrounds
to jazz festivals and international dance events in Europe becoming one
of the best hot jazz bands in the scene, often collaborating with some
of the finest musicians from New Orleans. (Meschiya Lake, Russell Welch,
Joseph Faison…) The style of the band resurrects the original rough and
powerful sound of early jazz where music was meant to be hot,
entertaining and danceable. Inspired by the greatest composers such as
Jelly Roll Morton, King Oliver, Louis Armstrong’s hot five, Sidney
Bechet, the band delivers fresh interpretations and thrilling
arrangements, exciting all kinds of audiences from dancers, jazz
connoisseurs to party crowds.
