First, the big news.
JAZZ TURNS 90!!!

DAN LEVINSON'S ROOF GARDEN JASS BAND
(We look good for our age, don't we?)

I organized the Roof Garden Jass Band in 1987 for my first public concert,
an event at NYU honoring the 70th anniversary of recorded jazz.

I spent months listening to the records of the Original Dixieland Jazz
Band - the band who made the first jazz recordings in 1917 - and 
painstakingly wrote
out note-for-note transcriptions for the band to play.
Over the years our repertoire has broadened, but we have faithfully
maintained a focus on early jazz.
I believe we are the only band in existence devoted exclusively to what we
like to call "rag-a-jazz."

Twenty years later the Roof Garden Jass Band is assembling for a
one-time-only spectacular
event to honor the 90th anniversary of the first jazz recordings.

We'll be playing a ninety-minute set - one minute for each year in the
history of jazz.

I've got some stellar musicians on board, so don't miss this rare 
opportunity to hear jazz - or jass, as it was known in 1917 - the way it 
sounded 90 years ago

 In the 60's, people took LSD to make the world weird. Now the world is
weird
and people take Prozac to make it normal.
