BIOGRAPHIES

From the City of Brotherly Love arrives the Independence Hall Jazz Band, the premier hot traditional jazz band based in Philadelphia. Leader, trombonist and vocalist Doug Finke has combined 30-plus years of business experience with a noteworthy jazz pedigree to assemble a band of professionals who really deliver. The IHJB has earned the esteem of both fans and critics for its uniquely swinging New Orleans style, and for the skilled ensemble work and solo features of an expert, all-pro lineup of musicians.

Alongside Doug in the front line is clarinet veteran Kim Cusack and Charlie Caranicas on Trumpet, standard bearer of the New Orleans style of yore. Doug, Kim and Charlie are joined by John Royen on piano;  Ken Salvo on banjo; Mike Walbridge playing tuba; and drummer Hal Smith.
