Description
The year was 1925. The place: Chicago. Louis Armstrong's group Hot Five began a series of recordings that would make "jazz" a household word throughout the world. Though recorded in Chicago, the music and musicians were from the Crescent City: New Orleans. Tonight the Pasadena Jazz Institute is proud to present traditional jazz featuring Christopher Dawson at the piano, Corey Gem on trumpet, Hal Smith on drums, John Reynolds on guitar and from New Orleans, in town for this special engagement, clarinet virtuoso Evan Christopher. Some call it Dixieland, the French say le jazz hot, but we prefer to call it classic, swinging, all-American music.
