| Paramount Jazz Band Of Boston |
 THE PARAMOUNT JAZZ BAND OF BOSTON, known to jazz festival
attendees as "the band musicians go to hear", is gathering a growing
parade of dedicated jazz fans that extends from TANGLEWOOD to TAMPA, from SEATTLE to SAN DIEGO and from the ROCKIES to the CATSKILLS.
Boasting of one of the most extensive and eclectic books in the
country, the band plays music drawn from more than seventy years of
American popular and jazz music with roots in the music of Louis
Armstrong, Bix Beiderbecke, Duke Ellington and Jelly Roll Morton, as
well as Scott Joplin, Tiny Parham, Isham Jones and the Halfway House
Orchestra. It is presented with an apparent love and respect that is
a listening joy to audiences of all ages and musical tastes. The band
is a favorite of dancers as well as listeners because of its flexible
style. More than 15 different instruments are used to give the band a
wide variety of sounds and textures. You will hear dixieland,
ragtime, stomps, ballads and blues as well as the 1920s "hot dance" and
"Hotel Orchestra" styles. |
