| 3 PM | Disciples of Dixieland Jazz | View More |
|
While Disciples of Dixieland is named after Dixieland, a style of jazz developed in the South, members’ instruments are not traditional to the style because they feature an electric bass instead of a string bass. The band also mixes in swing and other forms of jazz with its Dixieland standards. Their music is mostly rooted in improvisation and features a lot of solos. The one consistent feature is that it’s “uplifting, happy music.” |
