PRJC PRESENTS THE CHARM CITY TRADITIONAL JAZZ SOUND.
Early jazz had strong roots in the Washington area. There was Ellington, of course, in D.C. – but don’t forget about Eubie Blake, Chick Webb, and Cab Calloway right up the road in Baltimore.
When the Peabody Promenaders perform, be prepared for a blend of popular traditional melodies and some brand-new, early-days’ style traditional jazz music The band features students of America’s oldest music academy, Baltimore’s Peabody Conservatory. The audience can expect to hear a lineup that includes both known and forgotten jazz from turn-of-the-last-century Baltimore composers. A pre-Thanksgiving musical treat.
