Just In! The All Harrison Dixie Land Jazz Band will be performing at our Mardi Gras event at the Reading Terminal Market on Tues., Feb. 16.  

Come hear the sounds of the Big Easy and join our Mardi Gras Parade in Philadelphia’s historic market. All to  help out the New Orleans Area Habitat for Humanity continue the work of helping to build homes and restoring the Crescent City.

A graduate of the Philadelphia Musical Academy (now known as the University of the Arts) and Temple University, he played and recorded with Dexter Wansel at International Records, toured with Stanley Clark and Sy Zentner, and performed in the Dixieland band on the historic steamboat  “Delta Queen”.  Al has backed up such greats as Tony Bennett, Billy Daniels, Jack Jones, and Sammy Davis, Jr.

See you there!
