Description:

Upbeat, fast-paced assembly program showcases New Orleans Jazz and Mardi Gras music with strong audience interaction/participation.  Includes early Jazz, blues, Dixieland, and brass band music (Louis Armstrong, Rebirth and Dirty Dozen Brass Bands, Dr. John, Trombone Shorty).  

Basin Street Jazz Band shares its firsthand knowledge of New Orleans and Mardi Gras, including a "Second Line" Parade with students joining the parade as the three horns perform through the audience to engage in and maximize the learning experience. 

Led by trombonist Dennis Martin, who plays in the style of traditional jazz artist Jack Teagarden and with modern influences of New Orleans' Trombone Shorty. 

Traditional jazz line-up of musicians:  3 horns (trombone & vocals, clarinet & saxophone, trumpet & vocals), 3 - 4 Rhythm (piano / electric keyboard / electric guitar, drums, bass guitar, harmonica, washboard & lead vocals). 

This program can be follow-up to "Introduction to Traditional / Early Jazz Music" or can be booked separately to augment a special school celebration / anniversary, music in the schools month, or end-of-school-year event.
