Music:Member Since: 4/16/2006Band Website: firecrackerjazz.com Band Members: Mike Gray- drums Reese Gray- piano Jason Krekel- banjo and tenor guitar Earl Sachais- trombone Henry Westmoreland- tuba Je Widenhouse- trumpet and cornet Influences: Firecracker Jazz Band's repertoire is born of the rich material of the early twentieth century "Jazz Greats" from the city of New Orleans. Popular and obscure Tin Pan Alley songs appear alongside clever original compositions. The instrumentation of the group is styled in the manner of the King Oliver Jazz Band, with stride piano, tuba and banjo providing the foundation for the contrasting voices of the cornet and trombone. Sounds Like: The Firecracker Jazz Band ignites listeners of all ages. The group's dynamic, raw energy fans the fires of a new generation of enthusiasts ready to revisit an era of rollicking New Orleans dance halls and Chicago speakeasies of the 1920's. Record Label: Euphonian Records Type of Label: Indie |
