The musical interpretation of the tunes follows various influences. (is influenced by various role models) In compositions of a freer nature with head-arrangements Eddie Condon is clearly recognizable. Full-song arrangements adhere to the original compositions. But – never is lifeless adherence to tradition presented with a forced pseudo-authenticity, never is an original recording just copied and recited note for note. Every musician contributes his own style elements, those of New Orleans Kid Ory (Mathias Goetz), through the Dixieland style of Peanuts Hucko (Rainer Sander), extending to the swing of Roy Eldridge (Colin Dawson), Oscar Peterson (Thilo Wagner), Gene Krupa and Sid Catlett (Gregor Beck). Andrey Lobanov und Thilo Wagner sometimes also like to swim in the mainstream stylistically. The mix of the different personalities is what makes it happen!
The Arrangements, mostly written by Colin Dawson and Rainer Sander include compositions of Scott Joplin, Jelly Roll Morton, Louis Armstrong, Fats Waller, Duke Ellington, Benny Goodman and many others. Both arrangers have their own style and interpret pieces from the Classic Jazz era between 1900 to 1940.
