About Sonny LaRosa and America’s Youngest Jazz Band: Rumors of the demise of jazz are greatly exaggerated. As proof we submit America’s Youngest Jazz Band, whose musicians are aged just 6 to 12 years. Despite their being a little green when it comes to life experiences, they have great jazz credentials — they’ve played New Orleans’ Preservation Hall and the Montreux Jazz Festival, for example — and a sophisticated swinging technique. Sonny LaRosa, a big band veteran who wields a great trumpet, founded this extraordinary band in 1979 and continues as its chief mentor and arranger.
