the Conservatory Classic Jazz Band Presented by Tri-State Jazz Society at Haddonfield United Methodist Church

Cornetist Dave Robinson has performed and toured with the top DC-area traditional and swing bands for over 30 years, including the Storyville Seven, the Sheiks of Dixie, the Sunshine Skiffle Band, the Manassas Festival Jazzers, the Pontchartrain Causeway New Orleans Jazz Band, Doc Scantlin's Imperial Palms Orchestra, and Hal's Bayou Jazz Band. He's gigged with swing-era big names such as Maxine Sullivan, Billy Butterfield, Steve Jordan, Johnny Blowers, and Bob Haggart, and has appeared at the White House, the Capitol, the Kennedy Center, the Smithsonian, New York's Rainbow Room, Preservation Hall, Meyerhoff Symphony Hall, and Blues Alley. The Conservatory Classic Jazz Band was formed in 2003 to present the sounds of traditional jazz to Washington, DC audiences. This highly-accomplished seven-piece group plays New Orleans style, Chicago style, small-group swing, and mainstream. Originally affiliated with a local music conservatory, the band now operates independently, and its members conduct workshops and “informances” about America’s early jazz heritage. While they perform all over the DC area, their “home base” is the elegant Normandie Farm Restaurant in Potomac, MD....
