The

UPTOWN LOWDOWN JAZZ

Band

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. They have performed 6:00 AM wake up music for sales meetings and rallies to company picnics and cruises on Puget Sound. If you need music for any business or company event, go to their Bands  page. Uptown Lowdown will add pizzazz to any business function. If your are a concert promoter or festival director, Uptown Lowdown has custom presentations.  Specialties include jazz history concerts, gospel services, and tributes to major composers including Louis Armstrong, Jelly Roll Morton, King Oliver and Sidney Bechet. 

"First of all, congratulations to everyone in Uptown Lowdown JB on receiving the highest audience rating of any band at the 2003 Sonoma County Festival despite not appearing in our audience survey form! I hope all of you had a good time here, and I want to apologize again for our glaring oversight of leaving your band name off the survey. That did not seem to matter to our audience" . . . John Howard Exec Director 2004 Wine Country Vintage Jazz Fest

"Can't resist saying this - sheer professionalism is what ULJB is all about." . . . Palmer Taylor - fan

"Uptown Lowdown is to traditional jazz what Mozart is to classics. Every note has a purpose, nothing is out of place, and each player is not only strong but has found a balancing point for his or her place in the mix." . . The Spokesman-Review Spokane,WA

"One of these days somebody is going to come up with a poll to determine the best 20 Dixieland bands in the land, and in our books, one spot amongst them is already nailed down by Bert Barr's Uptown Lowdown Jazz Band of Seattle" . . . Woody Laughlan, editor, West Coast Rag
