Queen City Jazz Band Concert

Colorado’s Queen City Jazz Band is performing a free concert at Ruesch Auditorium at YMCA of the Rockies-Estes Park Center at 7:30 PM on Thuesday, July 17.

From their modest beginnings in 1958 at little roadhouse in Lakewood, Colorado the QCJB has performed in Europe and throughout the USA and Canada. The New Orleans style band brings to life the music of the Jazz Age when Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington and Bessie Smith made their first recordings.

The Queen City Jazz Band features Denver’s finest traditional jazz musicians on trumpet, trombone, clarinet, saxophone, piano, banjo, drum kit, and tuba. Featured vocalist is Wende Harston, revered locally and nationally for preserving the music of great blues singers including Bessie Smith, Ida Cox, Ma Rainey and Billie Holiday.

Join us on July 17!
