About this Event

Just back from playing the Nashville live music scene including Rudy’s Jazz Room, the National Museum of African-American Music, and the Music City Jazz Jam, The Capital Focus Jazz Band brings youthful energy to Traditional Jazz favorites. The concert will include the music of Jelly Roll Morton, early Duke Ellington, Clarence Williams, Eubie Blake, Lu Watters, Fats Waller and much more, including some familiar favorites and a brass band second line.

The Capital Focus Jazz Band (CFJB, formerly known as the Federal Focus Jazz Band) is the Youth Learning Program of the Potomac River Jazz Club. Founded in 1988, CFJB has performed at receptions for the President, the Vice President, the Secretary of State and many other dignitaries. CFJB has been led by Dave Robinson since its founding. Dave is an active jazz performer, historian, and educator. On trumpet, cornet, bass trumpet, valve trombone, and vocals, he has performed and toured with the top traditional and swing bands in the Washington DC area, and he currently leads the Conservatory Classic Jazz Band. Current CFJB members include Andrew Grabowski (George Mason U.) on banjo and guitar, Minh Vo (Rockville HS) on piano, Vinesh Sridhar (U. of Maryland graduate) on trumpet, Ashley Hsu (U. of Maryland graduate) on clarinet, Hudson Tao (Wheaton HS) on drums, Grace Tifford (U. of Maryland) on tuba, and Quinn Sarracco (U. of Maryland graduate) on tuba.

Rosensteel Hall has ample free parking, is 4 blocks from the Forest Glen Metro, has a full cash bar, plenty of seating and a GREAT dance floor. Come on out and see why the PRJC has stood strong for 52 years, bringing live traditional jazz to the DC area.
