Description

The Duke City Jazz Band plays the traditional jazz of New Orleans. The band has appeared at Pappadeaux Seafood Restaurant, La Posada de Albuquerque, Los Poblanos Convention Center, the Albuquerque Country Club, The Rio Grande Jazz Society, The Eldorado Hotel in Santa Fe, Albuquerque Embassy Suites, and at numerous private parties, including most recently at Bill Richardson's Birthday Bash in Gallup, New Mexico.

This dance band - try NOT dancing to this music - specializes in involving the audience in the merry- and music-making. Sing-a-long choruses, hand clapping, and second line dancing all guarantee a lively and memorable program whenever this group gets together.

We specialize is wedding receptions and can furnish professional MC duties, if needed. Please contact us for rates and further information.

Also, Jazz funerals are a specialty. Dixieland music is a superb way to celebrate a life well-lived. Umbrellas extra! ;-)
