about

Second Line Syracuse (SLS) is a high energy brass band performing original compositions and unique covers with a focus on jazz improvisation, a whole lot of groove, and that good ol' New Orleans swag.

Their diverse repertoire speaks to all generations, with influence from many genres including jazz, funk, hip hop a la the Soul Rebels, or Trombone Shorty for example. Second Line Syracuse has shared the stage with the world famous Dirty Dozen Brass Band at the Westcott Theater in Syracuse and is quickly adding Syracuse to the musical map as a Northeast “home” for up and coming modern brass band groups. Second Line Syracuse won “Best Jazz Band” in the 2015 Syracuse NewTimes Readers Poll. The group is one of the featured performers at the 2016 Syracuse Jazz Festival, on a bill also shared by Trombone Shorty himself.

The Upstate NY band looks to embody the concept of artist as citizen and serve their community through music by conducting spontaneous second line parades in different Syracuse neighborhoods and performing at many local cultural events. The band, whose core group features 2 trumpets, 2 trombones, saxophone, sousaphone, and drums, is led by first call Central NY jazz trombonist Melissa Gardiner.

Gardiner received her master’s degree in jazz performance at The Juilliard School where she studies with SNL trombonist Steve Turre. She also graduated with a bachelor’s degree at The University of Michigan where she studied with Dennis Wilson. Other former teachers include jazz giants Curtis Fuller and Wycliffe Gordon. This is Second Line Syracuse's debut CD.
