The Dixie Ticklers

London

Led by clarinettist and composer Dom James, the six piece ensemble combine their deep love and understanding of the feel templates and language of early styles whilst each expressing their own musical voice. In recent years they have toured much of Europe and further afield including a fifteen-date tour of Australia in 2012. Daoud Merchant AKA Washboard Merch (John Law, Empirical) and Zands (Karl Jenkins) head the rhythm section whilst Will Rixon (Joss Stone) paints a modern image of the great early trumpet players. Bassist Tommy Antonio with guitar from rising star Nicholas Costley-White. The group has even caught the attention of film director and New Orleans enthusiast Woody Allen who has a copy of their first demo.

The band manages to bring in a deep scholarly understanding of New Orleans and Dixieland jazz without letting it undermine their enthusiasm for performing, and they manage to bring a contemporary London edge to the music while being true to its origins. They represent a fresh re-invention driven by joy. Peter Bacon, The Jazz Breakfast
