For over 40 years the band toured widely, bringing vibrant, powerful and sophisticated classic jazz to countless listeners. Though the band played hardboiled Chicago-style jazz, a certain Southern city also provided much of their repertoire. When it came to New Orleans jazz, Jelly Roll Morton was the originator, master, and its most outstanding composer and soloist – he’d tell you so! The musicians who continue the Chicago Jazz Band under the direction of Chris Smith love Morton’s music, and so for this special evening they’ll play ALL Jelly in a concert of exciting, evocative, and engaging jazz from the man who said “You can’t play jazz without playing Jelly Roll Morton.” Join Kerrytown Concert House in welcoming and enjoying this outstanding group of jazz artists, many of whom played in the Chicago Jazz Band over the years. Chris Smith, trombone, music director David Kosmyna, cornet Andrew Bishop and Chris Tabaczynski, woodwinds Pete Siers, drums Rod McDonald, guitar Kurt Krahnke, string bass Mike Karloff, piano Ticket Pricing: Tier 1: $42 (*Student/Youth $30) Tier 2: $37 (*Student/Youth $25) Tier 3: $32 (*Student/Youth $20) Artists:
