Our band was formed in 2001 and since then has established a position as one of the most popular traditional jazz bands in Seattle area. Original improvisations, arrangements and a tremendous intensity in our playing have given us opportunities to perform at jazz clubs, festivals and many other public events.
The DIXIE KINGS JAZZ/BRASS BAND includes an authentic musical line-up - trumpet, reeds, trombone, tuba, banjo/guitar and drums.

The DIXIE KINGS JAZZ/BRASS BAND have won an enthusiastic reception across Northwest area, not only for their old school jazz style, but for bringing an irrepressible sense of fun and frolic to their shows. That attitude almost always includes audience sing-a-long, spontaneous dance outbursts (remember the Charleston and the Black Bottom?) and a spirit of “wonderful nonsense” inspired by the early 20th Century which gave them their music.
Playing melodies that vary from rollicking numbers like “Hello Dolly,” “Doctor Jazz” and “Bill Bailey” to soulful renditions of “Basin Street Blues” and “Georgia On My Mind”.
