Doctor Dixie Jazz Band con Henghel Gualdi

Led by trombonist and doctor Nando Giardina, the Doctor Dixie Jazz Band are one of Italy’s historic jazz groups. They were formed in 1952 in Bologna as a university band called “Magistratus”.
They have had a long and successful career. Their many festival appearances have always met with acclaim, and in 1962 they won the “Coppa del jazz” for the best traditional jazz group. They have appeared on countless radio and television shows, including “Il signore del 21” with Ernesto Calindri when the guest was Louis Armstrong, and more recently they have appeared on the Maurizio Costanzo Show. Doctor Dixie have released more than thirty recordings (often with special guests, including Paolo Conte, Renzo Arbore, Lucio Dalla, and even Gerry Mulligan) and worked on three films with director Puppi Avati. In May, playing together with Henghel Gualdi at the reborn Bologna Jazz Festival, the Doctor Dixie Jazz Band celebrated their fifty years in music.
