Led by clarinet/sax virtuoso Dr. Jazz, our music spans the 78 rpm era, from ragtime to twenties to swing; energetically played and complete with harmony vocals. We’ve been playing as a group for about ten years. For the past four, we’ve had a steady Sunday night gig at Nietzsche’s nightclub in downtown Buffalo. We’ve also played at the Lewiston Jazz Festival and the Niagara Jazz Festival.
