Dixieland Fake Book Vol. 2 Sources

These are the source recordings used for transcribed lead sheets in Dixieland Fake Book Vol. 2.
If we used a printed source, usually sheet music, one or more classic records are listed. The purpose is to enable you to hear the tunes, and where possible, play along with the sheets. The "Modern Records" listed include *"recreations" of classics by modern bands, recordings that illustrate what can be done with a good tune apart from the classic record, and versions we particularly enjoy.
The book includes many notes on the original records, so if you have a copy you can start there.
Because the book contains key tunes and performances in early jazz, as well as a selection of various "revival" tunes from the 40s on, this list will also help non-musicians get into the music.

--->>> This is a list only--we don't sell CDs <<<--- Recommended CDs

To hear individual tunes, or many tunes by a group or artist, try Red Hot Jazz, the best website for 1920s jazz. If you accessed this table from the home page menu, it will be easier to read if you copy the entire address, paste it into the address space and "enter'; it will fill the screen: http://americanmusiccaravan.com/DFB2sour.html
