This year's plan is to honor and play songs made famous by the late great Louis Armstrong during the 1st set, the late great Bix Biederbecke during the second set, and perform some Chicago style Hot Jazz swing the third set. We hope to see you there. Oh yeah ... as always we will be happy to take a few requests too.

Bob Kreitz on piano, Tom Hilliker on bass, and Doug Kulp on drums.

PRJC Jazz Educational Discussion:
Artie Shaw, Reluctant Superstar
Featuring Seth Keibel
Monday, June 5, 2023, 7-8:15pm, ONLINE via Zoom
 |
We are happy to invite Seth Kibel back to do another PRJC Jazz Talk in our online series.
Artie Shaw catapulted from seeming obscurity to the top of the charts almost overnight with his rendition of "Begin the Beguine" in 1938. Yet fame and success didn't sit well with this stellar musician. This presentation will look at the strange career and life of one of the most perplexing stars of the Big Band Era. Classic recordings, video clips, and live performances from the presenter will make this class swing like the music itself.
We keep inviting Seth back for concerts and talks. He’s a fantastic musician, he knows his stuff, and he is entertaining! He’s got the trifecta and we are lucky to be able to share it with you. If you have not yet joined us for one of these talks, give it a try! Have a cold beverage at home with your feet up while you are entertained (and you may pick up a few facts along the way).

PRJC Summer concert with The Jefferson Street Strutters
June 11, 2023, from 2-5pm
Rosensteel Knights of Columbus of Silver Spring, 9707 Rosensteel Avenue, Silver Spring, MD 20910
Directions
The Jefferson Street Strutters play New Orleans style Traditional Jazz and swing, emphasizing popular songs of the 1920’s, 30’s, and 40’s. Melodies that are relevant and loved today. A potpourri of danceable, hummable melodies both instrumental and with vocals. We like to say, “we play happy music.” Our audiences join in the fun with hand-clapping, toe-tapping, smiles and feeling the happiness we strive to bring them.
While the band was hatched on a real Jefferson Street in Northern Virginia, most of its members have played and marched where jazz began, on the streets and in the clubs of New Orleans and its most famous jazz house, Preservation Hall.
Jefferson Street has entertained audiences at the Smithsonian Museum, National Park, street fairs and festivals, and numerous retirement centers. It was honored to be called to lead the Second Line Parade at the Washington National Cathedral memorial for the late WRC-TV new anchor Jim Vance.
Tickets at the door can be purchased with cash or checks (or via our website for e-tickets). Exact change is appreciated!
