The band’s June 21 concert will be preceded by the Olympic Dixielanders at 2 p.m. The Dixielanders are youths from local junior high and high schools chosen by Jazz in the Olympics Society coordinator Bud Critchfield and director Signe Crawford to learn the complexities of traditional jazz, more commonly known as Dixieland. The Jazz in the Olympics Society is dedicated to the preservation of traditional jazz through the education of young people.
