About

The Austin Traditional Jazz Society welcomes back Thrift Set Orchestra on Sunday, November 12, at Cap City Comedy Club, 8120 Research Boulevard, Austin. Thrift Set Orchestra was formed at the outset of 2013 by a collection of Austin jazz musicians that strive to be rooted, energetic, and present. Born out of a shared love of Classic Swing and Hot Jazz, the Austin, Texas band embraces playing both light and hot; at times reminiscent of a Duke Ellington small group or Django Reinhardt mingled with Milton Brown. It features four horn players (on eight horns) and guitar, banjo, upright bass, and often drum set. The ensemble writes and plays personally tailored arrangements of classic material as well as many originals. Several of the members sing; their styles unique, hinting from the sweet, melancholy of Billie Holiday to the audacity of Al Jolson to the gravel of Jelly Roll Morton’s voice.

Come and see the fun at Cap City Comedy Club, 8120 Research Boulevard, from 2 – 5 pm on Sunday, November 12. Doors open at 1 pm. Concert admission: ATJS members, free by showing 2017-18 magenta membership card. Guests and the public are invited to attend — $10.00 cover. Students with ID, $5.00.
Cap City features good food, full bar, (suggested minimum: 2 items, food or drink), 2 dance floors, and ample free parking. The hall holds up to 300 people — lots of room for all! ATJS concerts are family friendly.
