Paul Cosentino’s Boilermaker Jazz Band brings the Jazz Era back to life.  Starting in New Orleans where it all began, you’ll hear the sounds of street parades and steamy honky-tonk blues. The Band will then travel North up the Mississippi River to Chicago as did so many jazz greats including Louis Armstrong. We’ll bring you music from the dance halls and clubs from the Windy City of the 1920’s. Following the migration to Harlem, you’ll hear familiar melodies from the 1930’s featuring music by Duke Ellington and stride piano master Fats Waller.
We hope you enjoy our musical journey through the early years of jazz. Their enthusiastic performances will make you want to dance in the aisles.

Familiar tunes and rarities performed by these superb instrumentalists and heartfelt vocalists can be heard here.
