From traditional jazz to classic swing, a Classic Jazz Band concert is an exciting tour through the history of jazz from Jelly Roll Morton to Count Basie, from early trad to hard core swing and all the stops in between. Now celebrating its 20th year playing together, the "little big band" uses the 5 horn front line typical of such bands as Matty Matlock, Billy Maxted, Red Nichols, and the World's Greatest Jazz Band to create that glorious big band sound. Call for reservations. Tickets are $15. |

Big, brassy New Orleans-style parade music based on the tradition of Olympia, Treme, and the Dirty Dozen. The New Line Brass Band combines the talent and experience of the members of the Dixie Power Trio with one of Washington/Baltimore's finest horn lines. Blending a mixture of traditional brass band standards, spirituals, zydeco, and original compositions, the group plays music with a loose vibe and a funky groove. The result is raw, fun, and full of energy. |
