Dave Greer's CLASSIC JAZZ STOMPERSs is a
territory band from Dayton, Ohio which is
magnetized by the moment in the late 1920's and
early 1930's when classic jazz evolved into small
band swing. Unhampered by the horn sections and
written charts of the big band jazz that captured the
years from the dawn of the depression through
World War II, the music left lead players free to
explore their individual creativity. It looked
backward with an affectionate smile, and forward
with an appreciative glance.
Dayton, the home of the Wright Brothers and
Dunbar, has been as fertile and inventive in music
as it has been in technology and poetry. As
inheritors of its territorial approach to traditional
jazz, the Classic Jazz Stompers have enjoyed almost
two decades of pleasurably fanning the flames of
that tradition.

DEVIL MOUNTAIN JAZZ BAND
preserves the popular music of the late
1800's through the early 1930's, and the
west coast revival jazz of the 1940's. The
eight piece band is best known for the two
trumpet sounds of the Joe Oliver and Lu
Watters bands and the orchestrated "hot
dance" music of the late twenties.
The band also recreates the New
Orleans-derived hot jazz popularized by
Armstrong, Hardin, Dodds, Ory, Morton,
etc., in Chicago in the late twenties. They
present special historical concerts
celebrating the music of these jazz greats
and gospel concerts/sing-a-longs, and a
special show, "From Ragtime to Jazz".
