[Dixielandjazz] jazz funerals

[acjspres at aol.com]

We play several jazz funerals a year....usually with 4 or 5 musicians. Most  
often we play 2 or 3 tunes at some point during the program. They usually ask  
for Closer Walk plus our choice of the others. Just a Little While to stay 
Here,  Amazing grace, etc. Then we play Saints as people leave the room after 
the  service.
 
Sometimes we play at a reception after the funeral. (about 30% of the  time)
 
We charge $100 to $150 per musician (depends on travel distance, and  
duration of the event).
