Second Thursday by Southside Aces
The Southside Aces have put together their fifth album of traditional jazz, ranging from covering the masters to writing brand new originals. Second Thursday is named for the night each month that the Southside Aces descend upon the Eagles Aerie #34 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Any time you show up, you'll hear a different musician or composer from jazz history being featured, from Louis Armstrong to Jelly Roll Morton to Bob French or the Hall Brothers Jazz Band, just to name a few. Each of the songs on the album had their place in one of those great nights of jazz.

The sounds of the Jazz Age from the New Orleans dance hall and points north. From Jelly Roll Morton and King Oliver to the Chicago joys of Louis Armstrong and the evocative compositions of early Duke Ellington. From George Lewis and Paul Barbarin to original music in the style. The Southside Aces sextet has been making music since 2003.
