In November of 2004, a unique traditional jazz band was assembled on short notice for a special festival celebration near Munich, Germany. The band is unique in that Canamger consists of musicians from three countries: Canada, the U.S. and Germany. The band is dubbed "CANAMGER" (CANadian AMerican GERman jazz band). The band's musical arrangements draw from the best ideas of the four very different traditional-style bands represented in CANAMGER: the Buck Creek Jazz Band , the Charivari Jazz Band, the Grand Dominion Jazz Band, and the Toll House Jazz Band. In the winter of 2006 the band did a U.S. tour with ten concerts in Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, and Florida. In 2007 the band will do another U.S. tour and will also perform at the famous International Dixieland Festival in Dresden. Following the festival, Canamger will play various cities throughout Germany.
