BIG JOE AND THE DYNAFLOWS: swing, jump blues, grooves on the blues, and jazz for your swing dance pleasure!
Big Joe started playing music in his Maryland high school jazz band, where greats like
Clark Terry,
Urbie Green, and
James Moody often sat in, inspiring
Big Joe to a life in music. A member of the legendary
Uptown Rhythm Kings in the 1980s, he was also the music coordinator for Mick Fleetwood’s Alexandria nightclub,
Fleetwoods. Big Joe’s achievements go on and on, from playing at the Inaugural Ball for the 42nd President of the United States to WAMA awards to performing at jazz and blues festivals all over the United States and Europe. If jump blues gets your dance motor running, you are in for a GREAT night.
