Alexander's Jazz Time Band

Active since: 2022

Alexander's Jazz Time Band is an eleven-piece ensemble modeled on the "hot dance bands" of the 1920's and early 1930's. Our programs feature toe-tapping renditions of popular tunes and jazz compositions from the Roaring Twenties, all in authentic period arrangements.  

We have been delighting audiences in eastern and central Massachusetts since 2022 with our historically informed performances of well-known standards and forgotten gems. Most of the arrangements in our book have been specially edited to incorporate transcriptions of recorded solos by early jazz greats such as Buster Bailey, Coleman Hawkins, Miff Mole, Red Nichols, and Arthur Schutt. Additional solos are provided by AJTB musicians, many of whom are superb improvisers themselves.
