Just about every time the Fourth Street New Orleans Jazz Band plays,
whether it be at The Sonoma County Fair or for a special event
or party - someone is bound to come up to the band and ask the same
question. "Are you guys from New Orleans?" The answer is, "No, but our
style of playing jazz definitely is." From its beginning, Fourth Street
has & still is learning from the great founders of traditional jazz.
King Oliver, Jelly Roll Morton, Louis Armstrong, Kid Ory and more
recently the Preservation Hall Jazz Band have been great sources of
inspiration.

For this session of the Napa Valley Dixieland Jazz Society you will hear
some of the finest jazz musicians of Northern California:

Jeff Green on Banjo
Ron Dubin, Leader, on Trombone & Blues Harp
Jan Stiers on Piano
Tom Barnebey on Tuba
Chris Calley on Tenor Sax and Clarinet
Ben Dubin on Drums.

And one more thing. . . . . . . . . ..
Don't forget your dancing shoes, because this band puts out a really
good beat!
