The Frederick Dixieland Express

In 2000, several members of The Frederick Symphony Orchestra - augmented by other local area musicians - formed a Dixieland style jazz band, “The Frederick Dixieland Express.”

The group has performed at many nursing and retirement homes and has provided entertainment for the Frederick Historical Society, the opening game of Frederick Little League Baseball, Fourth of July festivities in Baker Park, the C. Burr Artz Library Terrace, “First Saturday” events in Frederick, private parties, and at various political rallies.

Current members include:

Jim Bowes — Bass

Ed Goley — Cornet/Trumpet/Flugelhorn
Barry Kissin — Saxophone(s)
Mort Reitman — Clarinet
George Smith — Banjo / Vocals
