I am going to jump into one of the biggest German events in May called the International Dixieland Festival. This post was inspired by my recent trip in March to New Orleans, LA. If you are unfamiliar, Dixieland is a music style developed in the 1910s from the imitation of New Orleans jazz by white musicians. To the right, I have included a video that shows you the crowds gathered to hear the incredible jazz music in 2009 for the 39th Annual Festival.
