PRJC Mardi Gras Celebration with Hals' Bayou Jazz Band

Hal's Bayou is a seven piece ensemble with a passion for playing traditional jazz, including the music of King Oliver, Jelly Roll, Satchmo, Bix, and much more.

Our "Spring Fling" event with Ben Mauger.

The Swing Time Big Band brought to life the music of Count Basie, Tommy Dorsey, Duke Ellington, Benny Goodman, Glenn Miller and other Big Band era sounds of the 40's. Started in 1998 by Don Hayden, the band consists of sixteen to eighteen energetic and seasoned musicians and a vocalist. Fidgety Feet, DC's Lindy Hop dance troupe, performed a lively swing dance and a Charleston during the band breaks.
