Ann Stewart, the vocalist, banjoist, and leader of Chicago’s premier Dixieland show band, is considered to be among a very small group at the top of the jazz banjo world. Her percussive, swinging style along with her energy and enthusiasm fuels the band’s exclusive arrangements of classic Dixieland jazz as well as swing, blues, novelty tunes and more.
