Centennial Dixieland Jazz Band to perform Feb. 26
The Centennial Dixieland Jass Band (CDJB) will perform at 7 p.m. on Sunday, Feb. 26 in the Freed Center.
The CDJB is led by David Kosmyna, ONU associate professor of music. He is joined by Ray Heitger, leader of the Cakewalkin’ Jass Band in Toledo, on clarinet; James Dapogny, emeritus faculty member at the University of Michigan, on piano; Chris Smith, co-leader of Ann Arbor’s only classic jazz band, on trombone; and Pete Siers, a versatile and in-demand drummer.
The upcoming concert celebrates 100 years, to the day, of the first recorded jazz by the Original Dixieland Jazz Band in New York City.
The CDJB will perform many of the classics of the original group, which will show the audience how jazz music, born in New Orleans, was created from diversity and assimilation.
