The Al Harrison Dixieland Band Presented By The Tri-state Jazz Society at Community Arts Center

The Al Harrison Dixieland Band returns to the Tri-State Jazz Society, following its triumph in January, 2015. “The Al Harrison Dixieland Band is a polished ensemble with enough firepower, as Duke Ellington would say, to ‘scorch the moon!’” – JIM MCGANN, THE STRUTTER. The band performs the traditional New Orleans music that Harrison played as a member of the Dixieland band on the historic steamboat “Delta Queen.” Al has played in New Jersey casinos, backing up such greats as Tony Bennett and Sammy Davis, Jr., in Philadelphia's Kimmel Center, and at many jazz festivals all over the country. The Al Harrison Dixieland Band, formed in 2007, has performed concerts for Tri-State Jazz Society, Cape May Traditional Jazz Society, Pennsylvania Jazz Society, and fund raisers for Jazz Bridge and other charities. “A great, lively band that preserves the tradition of classic jazz without embalming it.
