Second Sunday Jazz Affair

The Mississippi Mudders are a traditional New Orleans style Dixieland band.

When you look up on stage, you are going to see a lot of familiar faces. All of us play in different groups, but the one thing we have in common is a love for the sounds of traditional jazz.

We only get together a few times a year; we don’t rehearse-we just get together and let the moment take us. What you will see is a spontaneous outpouring of personal music and experience. It may be a little raw sometimes, but it will always be real.

Highlighting the afternoon’s festivities will be the presentation of the 23rd annual ‘Alice Award’ given to a member musician who not only must possess a high degree of musical talent and experience, but must also have those attributes that can only be described as “class.”

This year’s award will be given to Trip Ziegler an extremely talented, humble and very “classy” jazz piano player.
