Benefit night for TOM FISCHER, one of the best musicians in New Orleans, and out of work since KATRINA hit Louisiana. Tom’s wife and two children responded to the warning  to get out of New Orleans before the hurricane hit and they are ok. Tom’s house is still under water today.

 

Tom has performed and shared the stage with the best New Orleans has to offer including:

Al Hirt’s Band, Banu Gibson Band, the New Orleans Ragtime Orchestra, the Silver Leaf Jazz Band and is one of the first call musicians for all the bands in the “BIG EASY.”

 

Tom Fischer lost everything in hurricane KATRINA and has come to the Washington D.C. area to play real New Orleans jazz right here at 219’s Basin Street Lounge.

 

 

Please come and make a donation to this out-of-work musician.

 

The Band:

Tom Fischer- Clarinet & Tenor Sax

Dave Sager- Trombone

Clyde Hunt- Trumpet

John Previti- Bass

Big Joe Maher- Drums

As always, the band would like to thank our loyal regulars and 219 Restaurant for continuing to have and present Classic Jazz and Blues in Old Town.  We would also like to thank The Crystal City Jazz Celebration for  helping to preserve jazz and sponsoring Tom Fischer’s trip to the Washington DC area.
