Review by Youssef Rakha

Dixieland Unter Alten Türmen: A Timeless Jazz Gem That’ll Make You Smile Let’s get one thing straight—this album isn’t just another jazz record. Dixieland Unter Alten Türmen by New Jazz Company Ravensburg is like a warm hug from 1979 Germany, wrapped in the smoky charm of Dixieland jazz. Released on EGE Sound Studio, it feels raw and alive, like someone pressed "record" while joy itself was happening. Now, I gotta talk about two tracks that stuck with me long after the needle lifted off the vinyl. First up is "Ory's Creole Trombone." Man, this tune hits different. It starts with that trombone sliding around like it owns the place, all brassy and bold, then the clarinet jumps in like, “Oh yeah? Watch this!” The whole thing feels like stumbling into a secret party where everyone’s having way too much fun. By the time the piano kicks in, you’re not just listening anymore—you’re there. Like, how do they make an old-school jam feel so fresh? It’s magic, plain and simple. Then there’s "Maple Leaf Rag." Oh man, this one’s got swagger for days. If Scott Joplin himself walked into the room during this track, he’d tip his hat and say, “Y’all did good.” The band nails that ragtime vibe without making it feel stiff or museum-piecey. Instead, it grooves. Your feet start tapping before your brain even realizes what’s going on. There’s something about the way they balance precision with looseness—it’s tight but never uptight, ya know? The rest of the album keeps the energy high, mixing standards like "Do You Know What It Means" and "Chicago" with lesser-known gems like "Doggin’ With Doggett." Each track feels like its own little story, told through horns, keys, and rhythm. And honestly, hearing these musicians play together feels less like a performance and more like eavesdropping on friends who genuinely love hanging out. What gets me most about Dixieland Unter Alten Türmen is how unpretentious it is. This isn’t some slick, overproduced studio project trying to reinvent jazz. No, this is real-deal stuff, played by people who clearly adore the genre. You can hear it in every note—they’re not chasing trends; they’re keeping a tradition alive. And somehow, despite being nearly 45 years old, it still sounds vibrant today. Here’s the kicker though: after spinning this record, I couldn’t help but think—why don’t we have bands like this anymore? Not just talented, but fun. Like, imagine throwing a backyard BBQ with this blaring out of the speakers. People would forget their phones existed. So yeah, if you’re looking for music that makes life feel a little brighter and a lot swingier, grab yourself a copy of Dixieland Unter Alten Türmen. Just don’t blame me when you catch yourself humming “Ory’s Creole Trombone” at 2 AM. Trust me, it happens.

Interesting fact about Album

Here’s something cool: The album *Dixieland Unter Alten Türmen* by New Jazz Company Ravensburg brings a slice of New Orleans jazz to Germany. Released in 1979, it blends classic Dixieland tunes with a European twist. Tracks like "Ory's Creole Trombone" and "Maple Leaf Rag" show off the band's tight, lively energy. Fun fact—this record was made in Germany but feels like a trip down Bourbon Street. It’s like they took the soul of jazz and gave it a fresh coat of paint.
