Charleston Jazz Orchestra

Mike Quinn and The Parade Band bring the Second Line tradition of New Orleans into the context of the Lowcountry, blending swing jazz, funk, soul, and pop into a rowdy, funk-driven 5-headed beast. Sax man Quinn heads up this ensemble of cross-bending monsters, including Gavin Smith on trombone, Dave Grimm on guitar, Ron Wiltrout on drums, and Chris Bluemel on helicon (a type of sousaphone). This cast of local superheroes is sure to play your socks off and wildly entertain. Mike Quinn – Saxophone/Vocals Dave Grimm – Guitar/Vocals Gavin Smith – Trombone Chris Bluemel – Helicon Ron Wiltrout – Drums Concert Length: 60 min (no intermission) Doors Open: 8:30PM The Charleston Jazz Festival is sponsored in part by MUSC.
