Dixieland, early jazz styles, ragtime and old-time gospel music

Black Swan is a fun, artistic group that specializes in Dixieland, early jazz styles, ragtime and old-time gospel. The band loves the hot jazz music of the 1920s and features the sizzling talents of vocalist Marilyn Keller.

The ensemble also sports top-notch trumpet, clarinet, trombone, tuba, piano, banjo and drum instrumentalists. Take a few moments and get to know us through our home on the Internet, or email the band members from their individual bios.

We'll look forward to meeting you soon at your favorite "happy jazz" event!
