The Toll House Jazz Band (THJB) is a traditional-style, Dixieland jazz band from Columbus, Ohio and the surrounding area. We play the great traditional jazz tunes of Jellyroll Morton, Bix Biederbecke, King Oliver, and many others with emphasis on tunes from the 1920s. The band was formed in 1989 and has played at local and regional venues, and at festivals such as the Bix Beiderbecke Memorial Festival and the Coon-Sanders Festival. The band has also played three European tours in the last few years including the Dresden Jazz Festival and a formal concert in the Gewandhaus in Leipzig. In addition to our regular traditonal jazz performances, the band performs as the "Dixie Saints" for churches in the central Ohio area presenting church hymns in Dixieland style. The band leader is our banjoist, Mike Evans.
