Dixie Land
Band Concert
With the reputation as “the
jest Dixieland band in the
Southeast", the band of the
Carolina Jazz Society will
preform at the Fine Arts Center
on Saturday. March 7. As in the
past two years, when this band
delighted local jazz enthusiasts,

reputation as Dixie’s finest based
on the professional jazz talents of
the regular players, all of whom
reside in the Columbia, S. C.
area. The band's fame is such
that it can draw equally gifted
guest artists from other cities to
perform at special concerts —
such as the ones at Tryon. Every
member of the band, and its
guests, have played professional
ly with one or more of the
greatest name bands and jazz
combos in the country. While
most of them are now invloved in
the business world, jazz remains
their outside love and life
Old favorites of the '30s, '40s,
and ’50's associated with such
names as Benny Goodman, Glenn
Miller, Louis Armstrong, Eddie
Condon, and "Fats" Waller will
make up the repertoire. Count on
hearing Basin Street Blues,
Sweet Georgia Brown, Won’t You
Come Home Bill Bailey, and
When The Saints Come Marching
In And as evidence that Tryon
itself can contribute to this
popular art form, two local jazz
pianists, Kenneth Smith and
George Stothoff, will each sit in
for a selection with the band
