You have your favorite bands and favorite musicians. Well, if you've been around the traditional and Dixieland jazz scene, you probably already know most of these guys. They all have something special about them that puts them in high demand at festivals and jazz parties. So here it is - Introducing... The Draga-Coots All-Stars - this select group of seven handpicked super talented musicians whom are jam-packed into one brilliant package.

We’re talking about the very best of the best, live and in your face.   

There will be nothing like it.  

This exclusive selection of gifted musicians will prove to be one of the hottest groups appearing on one stage - featuring everything from the authentic classic stuff to the traditional swing. It’s refreshing to hear it played the old fashioned way - to include tubas and banjos. But that’s not all; you also will hear Ragtime, Blues and Bar Room Ballads. Add to that, you can expect to hear some "MUSICAL SURPRISES" in the way of some good old fashioned sing along - all fun stuff.

This select group of super talented professionals also play in other bands, always busy and in high demand.  

Not only will you listen to superb live jazz daily, you'll visit some of the most beautiful areas on the planet. This is not a typical rushed whirlwind European tour, dragging suitcases on and off buses each day with endless city tours. Pack your bags only once. Stay in one modern Bavarian style hotel, located in the picturesque village of Grassau, nestled on the edge of the Alps between Munich and Salzburg. We will tour by luxurious motor coach daily to places of interest and later to return to our hotel. Our goal is to make this vacation your best ever. 

This holiday tour allows plenty of time to just relax and to enjoy the very best of this beautiful alpine region of Southern Bavaria and Austria. You will learn about the area, its people, their customs and their traditions. You’ll experience personalized guided tours, especially for the Traditional Jazz fan at one low price. It just doesn’t get any better.
