PRJC's Season Opener: Craig Gildner's Blue Crescent Syncopators Live!
Details
The Blue Crescent Syncopators have been entertaining fans of traditional and hot jazz for 18 years, including dancers of all ages. Started by bandleader Craig Gildner in 2006, the band’s formation comes out of Craig’s love for the music of New Orleans he heard upon first visiting in 1997. And naturally he has quite a 78rpm collection of Bix Beiderbecke, Louis Armstrong, Jelly Roll Morton, and Earl Hines. His mission since then has been to carry the torch, and reach new audiences with this music. His compatriots in the “mission” are: David Sager, trombone Anita Thomas, reeds Jon Mathis, trumpet Alan Dale, drums Pete Revell, bass Craig Gildner, piano/guitar/banjo.
Potomac River Jazz Club (PRJC) is a non-profit organization founded in 1971 whose mission is to support and preserve original New Orleans jazz music. Our monthly concerts are held at Rosensteel Hall in Silver Spring, MD. The venue is near the Forest Glen metro (red line), has plenty of parking, table and chair seating, a large dance floor, and a cash bar with some snacks.
