      North Side Jazz Band is Back!

      Sunday Sept 10, 2-5 pm at the Makoy Center

The North Side Jazz Band is among the area's best-loved hot jazz shows, and in our opinion they've been way too hard to find lately, so we decided to do something about that. We're very pleased indeed to kick off our new season with this great band at the Makoy Center in Hilliard, from 2-5 pm on Sunday, Sept 10.

Playing the Traditional/Classic hot jazz and dance music of the 1920s and '30s, the band specializes in the delightful songs extracted from the time period before WW-II for both listening and dancing. Their repertoire includes the music of Louis Armstrong, Jelly Roll Morton, Bix Beiderbecke, Hoagy Carmichael, and Jack Teagarden. Titles like "Everybody Loves My Baby" "Basin Street Blues" and "Caravan" are among the mix offered.

Personnel: David Steele- tuba; Phil Stone- cornet; Dave Pfeiffer- clarinet; Bob Butters- trombone; Larry Nusser- piano; Aaron C. Jackson- banjo & guitar; and the irrepressible Tommy Swisher on drums. Vocals by Phil Stone, Aaron C. Jackson, David Steele, and Dave Pfeiffer.
