Uptown Dixieland Jazz Band


'The Uptown Dixieland Jazz Band'

On Sunday January 15, 2017 at 2 P.M., the London Jazz Society presented this exciting Dixieland Band to a capacity crowd at the Mocha Shrine Centre. Fans broke out in dance and the entertainers encouraged audience participation in the form of 'sing alongs' and clapping to the upbeat tunes. The Uptown Dixieland Jazz Band began the second set by parading into the hall while playing their instruments, and many fans cheered them on as they made their way through the crowd and up to the stage, never missing a note of the music.

The band later distributed several instruments to volunteers who played along with the group during one of their numbers. The ad-hoc players played surprisingly well and it was both hilarious and very entertaining. See one of the pics below of the volunteers holding their instruments along the front of the stage.
