Jimmy Mazzy
Is having backyard Jams until it gets too cold.
 Mostly Jim could have seen with the Wolverines, Eli & the Hot Six, The Williams Reunion Jazz band, The Riverboat Stompers (Steve Strauss), Sarah Spencer’s Transatlantic Jazz Band and Rick MacWilliams Trio.  He is prominently featured in about 40 recordings, most notably the 15 Wolverine cds.   

Jimmy Mazzy was honored as the 2019 American Banjo Museum’s Hall of Fame inductee in the category of Performance, 4 string Banjo.

Hall of Fame ceremonies are held the weekend following Labor Day each year, as part of the ABM’s Banjofest weekend.In case you don’t know Jimmy Mazzy, here is what is listed in Wikipedia:  “Jimmy Mazzy is a traditional jazz banjo player and vocalist. According to jazz writer Scott Yanow, he “has been a popular attraction in the trad jazz circuit since the late ’70s.”[1] He has performed extensively in the United States and worldwide, appearing at jazz festivals across the country including the Sacramento, San Diego, Essex, and several Connecticut festivals. He is a member of The Paramount Jazz Band and the Wolverine Jazz band and also freelances with other groups including the Yankee Rhythm Kings, the Magnolia Jazz Five, and the Back Bay Ramblers.

In 2002, he was voted the No. 1 traditional jazz banjoist, and No. 2 male singer in the Jazzology and Mississippi Rag readership polls.[2] Mazzy has performed regularly with Jeff Hughes, John Clark, Stan McDonald, Ross Petot and many other traditional jazz musicians.”
