Swing on Snow bands & musicians
10 bands and musicians of the alpine area meet in March 2025 for a special and extraordinary musical event in the Alpe di Siusi Dolomites Region. Hot sounds and compelling beats resonate with trombones, bass, dulcimer, accordion. And the combinations are among the most diverse, such as sweet Swiss Hanottere accompanied by drums.
Tiger Dixie Band (I)
The Tiger Dixie Band Band plough their musical mastery into recapturing the jazz of the “Roaring Years” and injecting it with an original, contemporary feel. Faithful to the quintessential nuances of New Orleans, Chicago-style, Charleston and Ragtime in both style and spirit (all the more so as a number of their instruments are vintage originals), the overall sound is testimony to the contemporary musical experiences of the band members: In their execution, arrangements and improvisations, the Tiger Dixie Band Band steer well clear of a trite “revival” effect and underscore the heartfelt message that this musical style, like Swing and Bebop, has never aged.

TriOlé (I)
An accordion, two guitars and a bass... At first, TriOlé reminds of common Gypsy Swing, but stands out from the rest with its own compositions and special arrangements. Tango, bossa, musette and 6/8 rhythms alternate with typical Manouche quotations. At the same time, their origin from the South Tyrolean mountains and their love for Slovenian music is unmistakable. The improvisations show influences from jazz, classical and folk music ... World music in the best sense of the word.
Stefan Geier _ accordion | Hanspeter Nocker _ rythm guitar | Markus Olsacher _ solo guitar | Ulrich Seppi _ e-bass, double bass
