Uptown Lowdown Jazz Band Sound Clips:
Uptown
"Lite"
was born due to requests by clients for a good "small" Dixieland
band. A great sound with a smaller lineup consisting of piano, bass sax,
cornet and banjo. This lineup can vary for example substituting another
horn for the piano if a strolling band is needed.
This great little band will fit most anyone's budget. call 425 898-4288 for quotes or email jazzbert@uptownlowdownjazz.com
