Paris Washboard in town
Paris Washboard, a French jazz group devoted to
the revival of traditional jazz, will perform a musical
repertoire from the 1920s and 1930s at their debut
concert for the Tri-State Jazz Society, Sun Feb 23,
2pm at the Methodist Church, 29 Warwick Road.
Their music is inspired by giants such as James
P. Johnson, Fats Waller, and Duke Ellington, and
includes original compositions. Parish Washboard’s
originality and unique sound emanates from just
four instruments: clarinet, trombone, piano, and
washboard. They bring something new to a jazz
style that originated in the earliest years of the
genre. According to organizers, Paris Washboard
is peerless in the traditional jazz world and has
experienced worldwide success since 1988.
The show is made possible by funds from the
Camden County Cultural & Heritage Commission
at Camden County College, a partner of the New
