October 1, 2006
Electric Park Jazz Band
Aberdeen, Washington
Website
Founded in 1983, Electric Park Jazz Band is named after the old Electrical Park that powered Aberdeen. It closed in the 50's and was replaced by the present day PUD. The band has performed at 18 out of 20 Rain or Shine Jazz Festivals, co-hosting with Hume Street Preservation Jazz Band.

Cork’s Crew
Walterville, Oregon
Website
Cork's Crew is a 7 piece Dixieland band put together by Cork Larsen. In November Cork (on banjo) will be joined by Californians Pete Main-clarinet and Earl Scheelar-cornet. The rest of the band is filled out with other distinguished "local" musicians. The band sticks to trad jazz sounds and likes to find obscure pieces seldom played by other bands. They are popular to listeners and dancers alike, and play up-beat peppy tunes.

December 3, 2006
Uptown Lowdown Jazz Band
Bellevue, Washington
Website
Seattle's Uptown Lowdown Jazz Band specializes in good upbeat Dixieland jazz and ragtime, serving clients and jazz fans since 1971. The band in that span of time has performed in every way imaginable - from the grand opening of the Kingdome to the final beam raising of the Westin Hotel.

January 7, 2007
Calamity Jazz Band
Eugene, Oregon
Website
A truly “co-ed” group, Calamity Jazz boasts a harmonious blend of four men and four women; an almost unheard-of mixture within their genre of music. Their individual skills have landed them everything from roles in major motion pictures to engagements with notables such as Tony Bennett, Tex Beneke, Dionne Warwick, the Cab Calloway Orchestra, Big Tiny Little, Harry James and many, many others

Cell Block Seven
Lodi, California
Website
Cell Block Seven is a Californian jazz band favoring the West Coast traditional jazz sound of Lu Watters, Turk Murphy and the Bay City Jazz Band of the '50s in a classic jazz lineup led by two cornets.
Their many festivals, tours and concert successes are a direct result of their very professional approach coupled with a great sound and an extensive repertoire.
