Some recent publicity:
The Buck Creek Jazz Band was formed in 1977.. The band is made up of seven 
musicians who play in the style of Jelly Roll Morton, King Oliver and other 
early New Orleans musicians. Their intention is not to copy the sound of 
these early musical pioneers but to apply their instrumentation and 
techniques to a variety of tunes that span the Twentieth Century.

The band has appeared at every major traditional festival in this country, 
including the Kool Jazz Festival in Washington, D.C. and the Sacramento Jazz 
Jubilee in California. Outside their native country they have played the 
Victoria (British Columbia) Jazz Festival and the Edinburgh, Scotland 
Festival. They have been featured on jazz cruises in the Caribbean, the 
Mediterranean, the Baltic Sea, Panama Canal, Alaska and the St. Lawrence 
Seaway.

They have recorded eighteen albums and CDâ?Ts over the past twenty years and 
they have received three Whammy Awards (Washington Area Music Awards) 
including one for the Best Jazz Group.

In 2000 they were voted by readers of the American Rag as one of the  five 
best traditional jazz bands in the country today.
