For 50 years the Queen City Jazz Band has kept its focus on performing the great sounds of New Orleans-style Dixieland Jazz. Thanks also go to you, our fans and audiences, who have kept coming back to hear more!

Thank You Alan Frederickson

Alan Frederickson, leader of the Queen City Jazz Band from 1958 until 1974, passed away on March 21st.  Alan was one of the founding members of the QCJB.  He was the personality of the band as a tremendous master of ceremonies.  When our fans visualize the QCJB at the old Mon Vue Village, they see Alan with a big smile and possibly his signature cigar as he danced about the stage playing trombone and stirring the audience to laughter with jokes we all remember and his “readings from the work.”   These readings from the work included formidable publications like the Massey Ferguson Tractor Repair Manual, Artificial Insemination of Farm Animals, and You Were Born on a Rotten Day, an astrology masterpiece.

All of his fans, members of the current Queen City Jazz Band and its alumni will miss him, but will always have memories of a man who was always effervescent.

The Queen City Jazz Foundation has established the Alan Frederickson Memorial Scholarship fund.  If you are interested in supporting this fund contact Bill Clark at 303 556-8123 or Hank Troy at 303 573-1717.
