The Conservatory Classic Jazz Band

The 6-piece Conservatory Classic Jazz Band, based out of Washington DC and fronted by Chestertown's own Dave Robinson, plays the joyous sounds of traditional jazz, including New Orleans style, Chicago style, and small-group swing. Their repertoire celebrates the music of Louis Armstrong, Jelly Roll Morton, Bessie Smith, Benny Goodman and other early jazz pioneers, in addition to Great American Songbook selections by Gershwin, Porter, and Carmichael.
