The Harlem Blues and Jazz Band plays on Saturday night Oct. 23. It is
the world’s most authentic swing band. It stars seven veteran jazz and
blues musicians and one vocalist. The band has a strong link to Louis
Armstrong from its beginnings. George James, the first saxophonist in
the band, was with Armstrong in the '30's, Armstrong bassist Johnny
Williams joined and remained with the band for 25 years until his
death in 1998 . "Fats" Waller's guitarist, Al Casey, joined the band
in 1981. Al Vollmer created the Harlem Blues & Jazz Band never
suspecting that it would become one of the longest continually
performing jazz groups in existence. An impressive number of musicians
from the classic age of jazz and swing eras have graced the group
throughout the years, thereby giving an enviable authenticity and
historical significance to the band's performances and recordings.

Check out one of their recordings.
