RE: Dixieland Jam for Clarinet

You've echoed my sentiments exactly with regard to the Dixieland Jam CD. I've just returned to the clarinet after a 20 yr hiatus and I am in the process of re-learning everything. I have no desire to play classical music nor do I have any aspirations to play to any audience outside of family. Strictly speaking, I am in this for the fun and the Dixieland CD has added a whole new dimension to this fun. While I can read music, I take greater pleasure in playing what I hear rather than what I see. With the Dixieland CD I have an instant "band" with whom to raise the roof. The "boys in the band" are great at filling in what I leave out and they even let me try new things without complaint. Its great! The tunes are catchy too, so even my kids can enjoy my playing. I am not advocating the sale of this product, specifically, but if you do want a break from playing alone, sheet music with accompanying CD's are a great way to enjoy the feeling of playing with a group. Unfortunately there is no social contact between band members but maybe someone will develop an interactive product. Ah yes, the possibilites are endless . . .
