Black Swan Classic Jazz Band brings the sound of early jazz to life with authentic period styles, original arrangements, and a distinctive vocal presence from Marilyn Keller. Since 1997, Keller has been the band's luminous front voice, earning her a place in the Oregon Jazz Society Hall of Fame in 2016. The ensemble specializes in Dixieland, ragtime, and old-time gospel with tight ensemble work and lively tempos that transport audiences to the jazz clubs of the 1910s and 1920s. Their repertoire covers traditional favorites and subtle modern touches, all performed with a dedication to period accuracy and musical clarity.
