About the band
The Barbone Street Jazz Band consists of World-Class jazz musicians. Their 60 + year old average age is worn as a badge of honor. During their formative years, jazz was the rage in clubs all over the country. Dixieland, New Orleans Jazz, Swing and Hot Dance music flourished during the 1940s and 50s. They were the right age to see and hear this type of music live. And in many cases, played it along side some of the greatest jazz legends of the 20th century.
During these years, jazz took many forms as individual styles developed. Barbone Street musicians working with each other in many different bands were united by a common goal. A desire to explore the roots of jazz , traditional jazz modernized by their own inventiveness. And so Barbone Street was formed several years ago with the goal of blending their own individual styles into a unique, energetic, easily recognized band sound.
The basic band is a six piece Dixieland group. However, we are not limited to jazz. We supply all types of music and organize bands from a pool of about 45 skilled musicians. On many occasions we have had as many as four bands working at the same time in various venues with everything from foot stomping jazz to mellow background music.
