Recorded Jazz vs. Live Jazz: Why Live Performances Make Jazz All The More Fun

Jazz—especially Dixieland jazz—is one such music genre that sounds best when heard live. Listening to a trumpet blaring at a high volume is twice more fun when you can actually see the smooth golden instrument being swayed while being played. 

The band in costumes, the assembly of instruments, and the final show—all contribute to the musical ambiance that live jazz creates. Not to mention, live jazz is important to the music culture and history of New Orleans. Thus staying true to its roots, Dixieland jazz is best performed and enjoyed live.  

Here’s why live jazz is absolutely worth your passion.

Jazz brings people together

How do you not get up from your seat at a party, grab a partner and hit the dance floor when Blues My Naughty Sweetie starts playing? This light-hearted, upbeat song is all you need to gravitate toward the dancing crowd and join the party. 

With Havin’ Fun playing live, there’s no chance you won’t feel the need to mingle with the crowd and have some fun. This is why Dixieland jazz is known to bring people together, even if they aren’t more than just acquaintances. With jazz playing right, you can tap and clap away all your worries and just live in the moment! 

Suit the Moment

With a jazz band on your list, you don’t have to worry at all about the music scene at your party. Be it with Puttin’–On the Ritz! Or Sweet Georgia Brown, you can always tailor your music sequences and song selections according to the occasion. 

The best part is that you get to improvise on the spot and add a flourish that your audience wasn’t expecting. If you’re talking about ways to keep your audience engaged, there’s no better way than this.

Set the Theme

If you think this is all, you still don’t know the might of live music—and that too, jazz music. With Navy Day coming up on October 27, there will be many who’d be hosting themed parties to commemorate the occasion. Since jazz bands have historically played their best pieces to celebrate the day, it’s quite likely that the tradition will continue this year as well.

As for us, our band ensemble is always ready for a new audience in a new place. Don’t mistake the war veterans for people who can’t enjoy some good music! After all, there’s no better way to spend an evening in good spirits than listen to some old-time traditional jazz.
