The American Orient Express provides travelers with a sense of romance not found in other modes of transportation. Since the last of the great streamliners disappeared into America’s past more than three decades ago, our nation’s most scenic rail routes have been inaccessible to the discerning traveler. Today they are reopened to the select few who choose to rediscover the romance of the rails.
Past performances:
March 15 - 22,
2004 (Jazz) Jimmy
LaRocca Quartet.
This elite group performs New Orleans Jazz and classic standard styles. Your
soul will be warmed by the intimate setting and intense music.
"LaRocca, whose vocals are inspired by Louis Armstrong, offered the crowd a little lagniappe - a “ragged but right” version of
St. James Infirmary."
Mike Joyce The Washington Post
March 30 - April 6, 2004 (Jazz) Jack
Maheu Trio
An exquisite group performing New Orleans jazz in
the intimate setting of a lush club car like
you might have heard it if clarinetist Benny Goodman was sitting next to you performing.
"A warm, mellow
tone and a melodic manner of improvisation"
John S. Wilson, New York Times
