PRJC Free Zoom Jazz Class

Among the ways you can learn about the fascinating history of jazz music is to trace family histories. The music was passed along to family members – uncles and cousins, and aunties, too. And among neighborhood pals who took up instruments. It was deeply ingrained in the NOLA culture as both pastime and vocation. Filling us in on this rich history for April’s Potomac River Jazz Club’s Free ZOOM educational adventure will be Mark Braud. Mark is a noted New Orleans “culture bearer”, a working musician who’s played with everybody who’s anybody and led the Preservation Hall jazz band for eight years. Join us – tune in – via ZOOM on April 18th from 8 to 9:30pm EASTERN time. 
Must pre-register:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.eventbrite.com/e/prjc-zoom-jazz-talk-mark-braud-new-orleans-trad-jazz-musical-families-tickets-860384773017" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://www.eventbrite.com/e/860384773017</a>
Pre-registration is required by 5pm EASTERN time the day of the talk. The link will be sent to you by email shortly before the talk begins. While free, PRJC encourages donations to help defray its production costs at the time of registration. See you on the ZOOM.

BEN MAUGER’SS VINTAGE JAZZ BAND – Sunday April 28th 2:00-4:30pm
Come enjoy an afternoon of Hot Jazz and dancing! We expect the atmosphere to be remarkably tuneful as we welcome back “Ben Mauger’s Vintage Jazz Band” from Pennsylvania for an encore performance. There’s a fine dance floor, so grab a partner and shake your booty! BMVJB, led by Ben and featuring a cast of accomplished all-stars (and maybe a few surprise guests.)
They perform the early jazz that was made famous in the 1920’s by such greats as King Oliver, Fats Waller and Louis Armstrong. To tell the truth, when Ben plays you might agree you’re hearing a strong hint of Louis in his style. The band has played for jazz societies throughout the East Coast and they’re back for Washingtonians!
