And That's Jazz -- Dixieland show August 25, 2011

“And That’s Jazz” plays dixieland jazz and the compositions of King Oliver, Jelly Roll Morton, Fats Waller, Hoagy Carmichael, Sidney Bechet and Duke Ellington. The six members play cornet, banjo, guitar, drums, tuba, clarinet, sax, and trombone. The band is still lead by its originator, Gene Maurice, and going strong with several steady gigs each month and many jazz festivals each year. They’ve opened at The Great American Music Hall, performed on Al “Jazzbo” Collins’ radio show, made appearances on San Francisico Bay Area television programs and performed at many local Jazz Society sessions.
The name of the band was taken from the 1956 movie “High Society” starring Bing Crosby, Louis Armstrong, Frank Sinatra and Grace Kelly. Part of the musical score for the movie was a song sung by “Bing” and “Louis” called “Now You Has Jazz” and after, as a tag line, Bing sez “And That’s Jazz” - hence the band’s name.
Come on down and hear them at High Street Station!
