Classic Dixieland jazz tunes. Recommended popular songs.

Former vocal coach specializing in Western musicRyo
Under the theme of “vocal skills that stand up on the world stage,” I have experience teaching as an online vocal coach specializing in Western music, and I usually listen to genres like nuevo flamenco, bolero, canzone, and R&B. In my teens, I questioned the idea that “foreign music equals English,” and started exploring songs from around the world. My commentary is characterized by a unique perspective shaped by listening to music of every genre, in every language, from every country. I mainly cover world music, so be sure to check it out!

Dixieland jazz, the genre that emerged in New Orleans.

Also known as New Orleans jazz or hot jazz, it’s recognized as a highly important genre that helped spread awareness of classic jazz.

That said, because of the era in which it flourished, there actually aren’t many widely known songs.

So, this time, I’d like to introduce some classic Dixieland jazz masterpieces!

Every track features a classy, classic melody—perfect for anyone who loves atmospheric jazz.
