Barbone Street Jazz Band Presented by Tri-State Jazz Society at Haddonfield United Methodist Church

Clarinetist and leader Steve Barbone learned his craft up-close-and-personal in the 1940s-‘50s from now legendary artists such as Lester Young, Roy Eldridge, Coleman Hawkins, Sidney Bechet, Ben Webster, Mugsy Spanier and Billie Holiday. 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 Columbier. As of early 2014, he's had what amounts to a 70-year love affair with jazz. In 1996, recognizing a revived interest in and appreciation for the musical styles he grew up with and played as a young man, Steve gathered a roster of Philly’s best and most experienced dixieland/swing players to form what has surely become the busiest trad jazz group in the Delaware Valley. 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. Bob Rawlins joins the band as special guest for this concert. The Barbone Street Jazz Band’s last TSJS performance in January 2014 set an attendance record. This year’s concert might be a sellout, so come early to get a seat!...
