Bob Crosby & His Orchestra - Big Band Dixieland

Review by marcelo rocha

Bob Crosby & His Orchestra's album Big Band Dixieland is a perfect blend of classic jazz and swing music. The album features 12 tracks that showcase the band's exceptional musicianship and Crosby's smooth vocals. The album opens with the upbeat and foot-tapping "South Rampart Street Parade," which sets the tone for the rest of the album. The band's tight arrangements and impressive solos are evident in tracks like "Muskrat Ramble" and "Tin Roof Blues."

Crosby's vocals shine in the slower, more romantic songs like "I'm Confessin' (That I Love You)" and "Blue Skies." His smooth voice perfectly complements the band's instrumentation, creating a nostalgic and romantic atmosphere.

The album's title track "Big Band Dixieland" is a standout, featuring a lively and energetic performance from the entire band. The song is a perfect representation of the album's overall sound and showcases the band's ability to blend traditional Dixieland jazz with big band swing.
