Swinging New Orleans Dixie Band
What is probably Norway's hippest and freshest dixieland band, the Swinging New Orleans Dixieband, is coming back to the Kongsberg Jazz Festival!
In the last two years, the band has created a shameful atmosphere at everything from jazz clubs, parades and nightclubs to festivals and as street musicians. They do a great job of entertaining young and old alike with charm, fun and enthusiasm! They play old music with their own touch and interpretation, served with straw hats, crossbows and lots of energy!
"Here, the irony generation gets something to chew on, while the open-minded youth can enjoy a fresh, cheeky, straight-ahead trad band with a grin on the back and samba rum in their pockets. Here, there are buckets of charm, wonderful treats and brimming horns with pure partying!”
