Barbone Street Jazz Band presented by Tri-State Jazz Society Celebrating our 25th Anniversary Year at Haddonfield United Methodist Church

He's been a mainstay in New York, Philadelphia and European Jazz Clubs including Nick’s, Eddie Condon’s, The Savoy, the Cinderella Club, the Melody Lounge, the Stuyvesant Casino, Ortlieb’s Jazz Haus, Le Cave, the JazKeller and the Vieux Colunbier.

Although the personnel has changed slightly over the years, Barbone states that the band is united by their common goal of exploring the roots of jazz.
