With instrumentation that includes clarinet, trumpet, and sousaphone, Banjo Juice Jazz Band sounds like a bunch of Dixieland dandies on the mischievous make. Clammering calamity collides on stage a la Django, with a rhythmic sweetness that is the music’s claim. This is another Tyler Westcott joint, so you know it’s gonna be good with a capital F – straight outta Preservation Hall. I dare you to sit still, I dare you.
Banjo Juice Jazz Band plays Friday, February 15, 8 p.m. at Three Heads Brewing, 186 Atlantic Avenue. $5. 244-1224. threeheadsbrewing.com; facebook.com/banjojuicejazzband.
