Carl Anderson and His New Orleans Jazz Band is a regular favorite for the Central Illinois area. Carl is joined by six other seasoned, traditional jazz musicians to bring back this truly original jazz style to our area. His group has performed all over the area, including appearances at the Decatur Jazz Festival / Juvae Jazz, Jimmy’s Bar and Grill, Tin Pan Alley Restaurant, the Peoria Country Club, the Central Illinois Jazz Society and private parties. They will perform at the Roanoke City Festival on Friday, May 23, at 7:00 p.m. They will also perform at Idlewood Park in Morton on Thursday, July 10, at 7:00 p.m. The group has released several CDs, which will be available at the program. Carl is also a founding member of the Central Illinois Jazz Orchestra, a big band that performs throughout the area.
Carl selected the very best players he could find for his traditional jazz group. The band members currently include musicians from Iowa and Illinois. The group includes Carl on trombone, Doug Myers on trumpet, Craig Bullis on clarinet, Denny Schielein on piano and vocals, Jeremy Clark on drums, Billy Sutton on bass, and Lance Dieckow on banjo. Refreshments are available, as well as a selection of food from the Radisson Hotel menu.
