Ode to Jimmy Noone's Chicago Jazz

Come enjoy Dan Levinson's ode to Jimmy Noone's Chicago jazz.  Noone's skill on the clarinet and his band's popularity were so phenomenal that the Apex Club became a haven for jazz musicians, attracting such legendary figures as Benny Goodman, Eddie Condon, Frank Teschemacher, Bud Freeman, Bix Beiderbecke, Mezz Mezzrow, Pee Wee Russell and Louis Armstrong. 

The Apex Project captures the two reed front line and Jimmy Noone spirit, with an all-star cast you will certainly recognize including: Pete Martinez (Albert clarinet, from Big 72), Kevin Dorn (drums), Cassidy Holden (bass, from Fête Manouche), Jan Frenkel (piano) and Molly Ryan (guitar and vocals).
