THE DIXIE DIEHARDS JAZZ BAND BOOKING: rick260@comcast.net
Welcome to Grassroots Jazz, a site for jazz musicians, jazz fans, and those who are simply curious.
When I was just a "boy with a horn" -- about 10 -- I was introduced to the cornet. At a time when most of my musically-conscious friends wanted to be the next John Lennon, I wanted to be the next Louis Armstrong. Two things were markedly different about us, however: pigmentation and talent.
Nevertheless, jazz has held a long-term fascination for me and after 30 years of jobs, kids and houses, I'm finally back where I started--playing in three bands that perform various kinds of jazz. You'll find my Dixieland and New Orleans jazz band at www.dixiediehards.com.
I also write about jazz as well as folk and acoustic music in the GO section of The Sun Chronicle, where I have a weekly column.
At Grassroots Jazz you'll find jazz artist profiles, jazz news and a monthly calendar of jazz events in southeastern Massachusetts and Rhode Island.
Dig, man!
