The Route 55 Jazz Orchestra

Real Live Music

That’s the inspiration behind the founding of The Route 55 Jazz Orchestra under the leadership of Director Dave Reitmeyer, who is a local businessman, musician and private music teacher. Dave leads musical groups from soloists to the big band and may be hired to perform at your party or event. He also is accepting piano and guitar students on a per interview basis.

R55 was founded in 2006, and is made up of community musicians who seek to preserve and promote the authentic music of America’s Big Band Jazz & Swing Era. We offer a selection of tunes made famous by big band jazz masters like Count Basie, Glenn Miller, and Duke Ellington along with contemporary composers and arrangers, some of which are unique to R55.

R55 performs four major concerts per year at the Holly Springs Cultural & Arts Center, 320 W Ballentine St., Holly Springs, NC 27540.
