Maxie Kaminsky - Dixieland Horn

Review by GallantMary Amamdikwa

Dixieland Horn, the album by Maxie Kaminsky, is a must-have for any jazz enthusiast. The album features Kaminsky's signature Dixieland style, with his masterful horn playing leading the way. The tracks are a mix of classic jazz standards and original compositions, all of which showcase Kaminsky's exceptional talent.

The album opens with the upbeat and lively "Royal Garden Blues," which sets the tone for the rest of the album. Kaminsky's horn playing is both melodic and playful, and he effortlessly weaves in and out of the other instruments in the band. Other standout tracks include "At the Jazz Band Ball" and "Basin Street Blues," both of which feature Kaminsky's virtuosic playing.

One of the highlights of the album is Kaminsky's original composition, "Maxie's Blues." The track starts off slow and mournful, but gradually builds in intensity as Kaminsky's horn takes center stage. It's a powerful and emotional piece that showcases Kaminsky's range as both a musician and a composer.
