Christchurch’s River City Jazzmen’s culture can be summed up in one word: ‘authentic’. The focus of the band never wavers far from the classic Dixieland vibe.
The line-up, now in its tenth year, follows the New Orleans’ model with skilled and inventive soloists. From ‘ Bourbon Street Parade’ to ‘ The World is Waiting for the Sunrise ’, the RCJ repertoire boasts in excess of a hundred numbers dating from 1914 up to the best of the 50’s & 60’s trad.
