Rosetta - Dixieland Crackerjacks with Bob Erwig 2007 <br />A few weeks ago, when on holiday in my home country Holland, I met the Dixieland Crackerjacks. They were playing at a weddingparty near Edam. While in Canada I had admired their skill and talent via youtube and I had corresponded several times with leader Bert Brandsma. <br />It was with great pleasure that they gave me the chance to play a few tunes with the band. They only played in their smaller quartet setting at this gig but I enjoyed every minute. Bert is a woderful supportive bass sax player. Together with their young and skillful banjoplayer Rocky van Schaik it was such a joy to sit in. Bert’s wife, Sliding Selena is a treasure by itself. She is only just thirty but plays with a sincere maturity that I usually only find with much older musicians. I was the rusty old fellow, <br />It was certainly nice to sit in with such energetic, young and talented traditional jazz musicians. Also compliments for the nice filming by Crackerjack’s trumpetplayer Michael Muller. A creative man! <br />Find them on their website at <br /><a class="link" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.dixielandcrackerjacks.com/">http://www.dixielandcrackerjacks.com/</a>
