ALWAYS A SELL-OUT....ORDER NOW FOR NOVEMBER 7th PERFORMANCE AND COME ENJOY THE JAZZ AT GORTON!


  Red Rose Ragtime Jazz Band

Sunday, November 7 at 4 p.m.

 

A perennial Favorite of Gorton, Red Rose Ragtime Jazz Band, with leader Joan Reynolds,  returns from the band's triumphant debut at the 2009 Chicago Jazz Festival, with its exuberant and historically accurate repertoire of ragtime, early jazz, Dixieland and more! The Red Rose has perhaps the widest variety of traditional jazz sound of any band in America. Its menu includes everything from classic compositions by Jelly Roll Morton to rags by Scott Joplin to hot tunes by Bix Beiderbecke and Lu Watters. The Red Rose resurrects the classic period of the first three decades of the twentieth century, and also includes a balanced cross section of the American musical heritage of ragtime, blues, jazz and popular material.

"It's a winning combination, especially for those fans of ragtime that enjoy the fuller sound of a band."-Jack Rummel, Rag Times. Experience first hand this venerable band featuring Joan Reynolds, piano, Tom Bartlett, trombone, Kim Cusak, clarinet, Steve Ley, tuba, Art Davis, trumpet, Jack Meilahn, banjo and guitar, and Wayne Jones on drums.
