Tri-State Jazz Society

Tri-State Jazz Society, formed in 1988, is dedicated to the preservation and live performance of early jazz, including traditional New Orleans, Chicago, St. Louis, and Kansas City styles, swing, ragtime, stride piano and boogie-woogie.

The society’s concerts feature leading professional small bands and soloists. All events are open to the public and anyone who enjoys traditional jazz is invited to join. Monthly concerts are presented in either Wallingford, PA or Haddonfield, NJ to serve the entire Delaware Valley, and we maintain a video library of past concerts on our YouTube channel for traditional jazz lovers around the world.

The society is a non-profit educational corporation supported by its members.

 rivertown vintage jazz bandBy Neal Seagal

Miss Maybell and her Ragtime Romeos
Sunday, October 19, 2025 at 2pm

Community Arts Center
414 Plush Mill Road
Wallingford, PA 19086

This band reminds us of a time when phonograph records and motion pictures were in their infancy and live performance ruled. Lauren Sansaricq brought her (then titled) Jazz Age Artistes to Tri-State in May 2023 and they were a big hit - don't miss them today!

“Miss Maybell (Lauren Sansaricq) has a vocal style that is similar to that of the classic blues singers of the era, ranging from Ethel Waters to Bessie Smith without copying any one vocalist. She puts plenty of bluesy feeling into the songs (which include both vintage blues and vaudeville-type songs), she swings, and she also plays washboard. Pianist Charlie Judkins is a ragtime and stride pianist and is very much a complete band by himself in addition to begin a tasteful accompanist.” (LA Jazz Scene)   

And Miss Maybell and Charlie are joined by accompanists Charlie Judkins, Dan Levinson, Brian Nalepka and Andy Stein, recreating the ensemble that was such a success at Birdland in NYC last November.  Today they make their Tri-State Jazz debut!
