Traditional Jazz

Established in 1987

The River City Rhythm Kings are dedicated to performing the highest quality jazz in a swinging and entertaining manner.  The wide range of musical experiences of the members comes together in tight ensemble work and hot solos.  The group philosophy is not to recreate the music of the early jazz masters, but to pay homage to the great small group jazz popularized in the 1920’s – 1940’s.  They call it traditional jazz with an attitude, or Traditude.  Few jazz bands maintain the energy and humor of the River City Rhythm Kings!

The RCRK is led my awarding winning trombonist, tubist and jazz educator, Dr. Marc Dickman.  Marc is from Valdosta, Georgia and has lived in Jacksonville, FL since 1986.  He leads the Marc Dickman Jazz Orchestra for the Jekyll Island Club Hotel’s annual New Year’s Eve festivities.  Other recent engagements include the Bella Sera Jazz Weekend, the Amelia Island Jazz Festival and the Jacksonville Jazz Festival.  Dr. Dickman’s new CD, A Weaver of Dreams, is available at CD Baby and iTunes.
