Led by the cornetist Ansgar Duemchen, who has more than 25 years musical
experience playing traditional jazz in Europe and the United States, these 
musicians present a class show that covers more than 50 years of American
popular songs.

Trombonist John Mascorella with his moanin' slide trombone adds the gutbucket
to the group as he takes us on a musicial journey through his many years of 
playing this great American music.

Nathaniel Schleimer's mastery of the "licorice stick"--the clarinet--and his
powerful soprano sax playing in the vein of Sidney Bechet will enthrall each
and every audience member.

John Grabowski is a founding member of Dr. D and the Dixie Dogs ( our
former band name ) and plays sousaphone.  John has years of experience
and his musical reputation is unrivaled.

John Bigelow has been performing trad jazz on sousaphone and tuba for
decades in the United States, and is highly regarded as the best in his field.
He is a welcome addition to the band and keeps the bottom solid.

Tadd Morris is the drummer for the MSDJB, and is an outstanding musician
as well as music educator. He has played numerous gigs and adds an authentic,
exciting touch to the trad style of jazz drumming. Tadd is one of the founding
members of Dr. D and the Dixie Dogs as well as the MSDJB.

Tim Sherman is the banjo man, and keeps the rhythm grooving on his instrument.
He has over thirty years playing experience on the west coast.

The Market Street Dixieland Jass Band performs for night clubs, festivals, special
events, art walks, street fairs and is available for private functions. We perform a
classy show that is suitable for families as well as adults only events.

Our highlight of the evening is involving the audience in a "second line" parade
on the much-loved "When The Saints Go Marchin' In" .  You just can't stay in
your chair when you listen to these gentlemen swingin' away--though the tunes
may be from the last century, the music is timeless, irresistible and fun!
