Winner of the 2010 French Quartet Jazz Festival Battle!!!

This Dixieland Jazz Band is an exciting and energetic Washington, DC, based band that specializes in traditional New Orleans Dixieland music but its versatility encompasses other styles as well, these range from the music of the swing era, to society music to the Blues.

Although they perform with as many as seven musicians, the nucleus of the group is a trio. Fashioned after the Swing and Dixieland styles of Benny Goodman and Pete Fountain, this band features a clarinetist, a pianist and a drummer. They have been performing together for almost two decades. Along with being featured on numerous recordings, they have been featured at major jazz festivals and have toured extensively throughout the United States and abroad.

Focusing on musicianship as well as entertainment, the band combines humorous lyrics and a dose of bandstand shtick to make a fun-filled and enjoyable time for all audiences. The band is uniquely complemented with its own arrangers and an extensive library of over 500 arrangements. The collection includes arrangements from the early Scott Joplin Rags, Louis Armstrong, Fats Waller, Cole Porter and Duke Ellington...to name just a few.

Whether for a concert, a private party, funeral procession, grand opening or reception, this band can perform with any size band or combination of musicians to fit your budget and taste.
