College Shows
Bring JAZZ AIN'T DEAD to your college outdoor festival, theater, or party for a perfect mix of music, dance, and fun entertainment.  JAZZ AIN'T DEAD features live music, dancers, singers, and even a live DJ to keep a party moving even after all the performances are done.  With its fusion of new sounds with classic jazz, new arrangements of current top 40 hits, and acid jazz, neo-soul style original songs, JAZZ AIN'T DEAD is an excellent choice to entertain and inspire young music connoisseurs while at the same time share homage to the jazz greats before us.  We recommend for universities with strong music and dance departments our Standards on Steroids and Porgy and Bess productions where many of the songs pay tribute to great composers.  Porgy and Bess is also excellent for diversity assemblies and Black student groups.  For club nights, we recommend the Jazz AIN'T DEAD JazzHaus Club Sessions.  All other shows listed are excellent for small venues, socials, receptions, and catered events.
