Sweet Georgia Brown - Alabama Jazz Band 2002 <br /><br />From a youtube friend from the Zurich, Switzerland area I received a DVD. Peter Meili is a reedplayer and plays in several bands in the Zurich area. I assume they have a strong traditional jazz scene there and the enclosed clip was recorded in the local Jazz Keller. <br /><br />In September I received an email from Peter who wrote me that his drummer and friend Willie Maag had just died. <br /><br />Quite a lot of folks reacted very positively to to posting of a clip in September and in memory of Willie I like to present another clip of the Alabama Jazz Band.This was recorded seveal years ago in 2002 and this high energy jazz group performs the famous standard “Sweet Georgia Brown.” <br /><br />The members of the band are Erwin Widmer trumpet, Hans Stegmann trombone, Peter Meili saxophone, Katrin Werder banjo, Erwin Nowak bass and Willie Maag on drums.
