It’s a Bix Fest preview in Muscatine! Join us on Wednesday, July 21, at 7:30 p.m. in the Wesley sanctuary as we welcome Andy Schumm and His Gang for an evening of jazz. They are one of the guest bands for the Bix Biederbecke Memorial Jazz Festival which will happen July 22-25 in Davenport.
The group formed in early 2009 to perform at the “Tribute to Bix Festival” in Racine Wisconsin. They play the music of Bix and His Gang from the late 1920’s. Born in Milwaukee, WI, Andy is only 24 years old and resembles Bix in looks and playing style. At the University of IL, he studied trumpet and cornet with Tito Carrillo and began arranging under the tutelage of program director Chip McNeill.
Rounding out the rest of the Gang are John Otto on Clarinet and Alto Sax, David Boeddinghaus on Piano, Leah Bezin on Banjo, Vince Giordano on Bass Sax/Tuba/String Bass, and Josh Duffee on Drums.
Get ready to be taken back to the 1920’s with Andy Schumm and His Gang!
