Native New Orleans Jazz
Tony Almerico And His Dixieland Jamboree Allstars
Jazz Horizons Vol. 1
Tony Almerico is one of New Orleans' fabulous characters. He has successfully resisted every offer to showcase his band around the country. Without ever leaving New Orleans he has won far flung fame and is credited with having done more than any present day New Orleans native in reviving dixieland jazz.
A revival it was, too, for Almerico formed his dixieland band at a time when even the birthplace of jazz was "going pop". In 1948, a few exceptions, the local bands "were playing pop stuff". Dixieland jazz was being played on request - that is, at the request of the tourist trade. Out of this picture the New Orleans Jazz Club was organized. The club's aim was to help perpetuate public interest in dixieland jazz. The club got together with Almerico and put on Sunday afternoon jazz concerts in New Orleans' Parisian Room, 116 Royal Street. The concerts became an immediate success.
