Immerse yourself in the vibrant sounds of the Big Band era with Al Hirt's "Swingin' Dixie," a lively collection of classic tunes released on November 22, 2013, under the Jazz Room label. Spanning a dynamic 50 minutes, this album is a testament to Hirt's mastery of the trumpet and his ability to captivate audiences with his energetic performances.

"Swingin' Dixie" features a mix of well-known standards and lesser-known gems, each track showcasing Hirt's virtuosic playing and the tight, swinging ensemble work of his band. From the sultry "St. Louis Blues" to the upbeat "Tiger Rag," and the soulful "And the Angels Sing," every song is a journey through the rich musical landscape of the American South.

Hirt's rendition of "New Orleans," with its infectious rhythm and lively brass sections, is a standout track that highlights his deep connection to the city's musical heritage. The album also includes the playful "Floatin' Down to Cottontown" and the jazzy "Hindustan," demonstrating Hirt's versatility and range.
