Mr. Taylor and his Dirty Dixie Band is a traditional dixieland band playing the New Orleans jazz of the early 1900's. Based in Bloomington, Indiana, this youthful, energetic group has gained a reputation for putting on toe-tappin', family-friendly concerts full of great music and clean humor. The band consists of Mr. Ben Taylor on trumpet, Dan Coffman on trombone, Justin Knapp on clarinet, Otis Cantrell on banjo, Gennie Clarkson on tuba, and Nick Stevens on drums. All the members of the band either currently study or have completed studies at the Jacobs School of Music at Indiana University.
