The sound of musical instruments, played in fine acoustic surroundings, they sound so pure and warm. While the Dutch Swing College Band has been on the block for quite some years, 72 to be precise, the history of jazz goes back more than 100 years. Exactly a century ago the musicians of the Original Dixieland Jass Band were the first to record a jazz track, thereby adding their part to jazz history. In honor of these men, and with great love of the musical genre, the Dutch Swing College Band recorded this long playing record. It's actually the first one in 30 years, as opposed to modern digital releases of the group's albums.
100 Years Of Jazz returns to an era when this wonderful music was born, featuring a comprehensive collection of traditional jazz standards. All tracks are analogue recordings completed in one single session. The tunes "Soprano Mood", "Strange Peach" and "Doghouse Blues" were written by Peter Schilperoort, the founding father of the Dutch Swing College Band, and first released in 1948. The opening track "Original Dixieland One Step" was on the first 78rpm jazz record ever released, back in 1917.
The Dutch Swing College Band hopes you enjoy listening to this record as much as they enjoyed recording it. But even more than that they are thrilled by the idea that musicians and listeners, together, are adding their part to the future of jazz!

In a STS recording, you will find:
1. The warm sound, that acoustic instruments posess on their own, but is often not captured by sound-technicians.
2. Acoustic placing and recognition of the musicians in the recording space.
3. Phase purity of a recording, both the electric phase (good cable/fibre connections etc), and the acoustic phase must be acquired through proper placing of the microphones.
4. Symmetry in the recording; this means always placing the microphones in such a way that on both the left and the right side there’s an equal division of signal, and not placing mono suport microphones on the extreme left and right.
5. Transparency and clarity in a recording. This does not mean an overly sharp recording, but one of softness in tone and clarity, in which especially the 3-dimensional recording-space is being displayed
