Title
Potomac River Jazz Club
Description
The Potomac River Jazz Club is a non-profit society formed in 1971 to preserve and promote the playing and appreciation of traditional dixieland jazz, a unique American art form. This is the music that originated among black musicians in New Orleans around the turn of the century and migrated up the Mississippi River. It encompasses jazz in this classic form as well as its derivations in Chicago and San Francisco styles plus blues and ragtime music.
Our musical heroes are Louis Armstrong, Jelly Roll Morton, Bessie Smith, Bix Beiderbecke, Sidney Bechet, Jack Teagarden, James P. Johnson, Fats Waller, the West Coast revival stars including Lu Watters, Turk Murphy and Bob Scobey and all the other early jazz luminaries.
The PRJC helped to found and is an active member of the American Federation of Jazz Societies. It is a founding member of the Cultural Alliance of Greater Washington.
