December brings grey skies, festive cheer, and the first concert of the Patuxent Jazz Band season. Indeed, December 2023 saw the first concert of PJB under their new moniker, coined in the fall months to reflect the wide region members hail from as well as the diverse breadth of Jazz the band performs, and the setlist celebrates this variety across a two-hour set of holiday tunes, standards from the Great American Songbook, and straight-ahead hard jazz - with a little latin flair thrown in. The stage lights were off, but the music sparkled in the dark!
