About Small Jazz Band
This Band of traditional jazz began its activity at the end of 1981 in the city of Cordoba, Argentina, trying to recreate the style of the first groups of the twenties such as Joe "King" Oliver, Clarence Williams, Louis Armstrong, Sam Morgan, Johnny Dodds, "Jelly Roll" Morton and others less famous but not less important musically speaking. The Small Jazz Band is formed by teachers of Musical Education who believe in the aesthetic and sentimental value of this genre, maybe the most relevant and influential popular expression of the last century. Between June and September, 1991 the SJB was on tour along numerous stages of Spain located in Madrid, Toledo, Salamanca, Sevilla and other important cities of Spain. In 1992 again they traveled to Europe, but this time to the Federal Republic of Germany. There, they were presented in the most outstanding jazz clubs of Hannover, Berlin, Bremen and other urban centers of cultural importance. The SJB has recorded three cassettes in Argentina, one recorded live in Hannover (Germany) and a "CD" edited by “Redondel” recording company of Buenos Aires, which was released in the middle of 1994. The above mentioned work, called "Harlem Joys", is the first compact disk recorded by a jazz band of the interior of Argentina, and it was nominated by A.C.E. (Association Chroniclers of the Spectacle) among the best four productions of jazz of 1994. This distinction was never awarded to a group in the Jazz genre outside the city of Buenos Aires, which adds another important record to the group. In October, 1996, being again awarded an important prize for the Musical Edition by the City hall of Cordoba, again the recording company Redondel released another CD entitled “Small Jazz Band, 15 años con el jazz”. In September of 2004 appeared “Alta Sociedad”, CD that shows the repertoire that travels the band after more than 20 years and in which they participate invited musicians of USA, France and Chile, as also of Buenos Aires. *** www.smalljazzband.s5.com ***
