Step sisters Meg Graf and Vicki Cox co-founded Calamity Jazz in 1999 with the goal of learning how to “really” play authentic traditional jazz. Since then, their band has evolved from a group strictly local in Eugene to an all-state/all-star band; featuring talented veterans from Portland, Waldport, Walterville, Toledo and Roseburg.
The rapid maturity of the band is owed to several key factors; one of which is the excellent mentorship and networking opportunities offered at the adult traditional jazz camps in San Diego and Sacramento. Another significant factor defining the band is the dedication of its musicians in very often driving in excess of 200 miles one way to be with each other to play or rehearse.
Calamity Jazz is not only a fine blend of musicians, but also a close-knit group of good friends; always happy for a chance to get together — especially if it involves making music. Once approached about whom she would pick if she had an opportunity to build her own “Dream Band,” leader Vicki Cox asserted, “I’ve already done that.”
