Good-Time Jazz in a TALL GRANITE state of mind

From the syncopated heart of New Hampshire, the Tall Granite Jazz Band sound is a spirited homage to Chicago-style "Hot" jazz from the Roaring 1920s, into the Swing jazz of the ‘30s and ‘40s, and the swinging "Cool" jazz of the ‘50s and early ‘60s.

From the Charleston to the Lindy Hop and the silky Bossa Nova, the Tall Granite Jazz Band's music consists of swingin' jazz bound to beat the feet of audiences young, old, or still waiting to decide. The band's influences range from King Oliver to Oliver Nelson, with stops at Louis Armstrong, George Gershwin, Fats Waller, Duke Ellington, Hoagy Carmichael, Miles Davis, A.C. Jobim, and many others.
