Few sounds are as distinctivly American as Dixieland Jazz. From smoke filled clubs in New Orleans' French Quarter and up the Mississippi River on the great stern wheelers, banjo players spread a style of toe tapping good time music recognized the world over. Today, there are but a handfull of musicians left to carry on that legacy. One of them, Jim Coston , has been sharing his hard driving banjo styles and home spun sense of humor with audiences around the world for over twenty five years. By combining traditional Dixieland Jazz with a selection of broadway show tunes, popular standards, classical music and just a touch of bluegrass, Jim Coston brings the banjo into the millenium with an eclectic evening of music and comedy sure to delight audiences everywhere.
