Dameronia

Dameronia was the name of a bebop jazz ensemble founded by Don Sickler[1] and Philly Joe Jones[1] in the 1980s that featured the original compositions and arrangements of Tadd Dameron. They recorded three albums, two for Uptown Records and the other for Soul Note Records,[2] and continued to perform even after Jones' death in 1985. The nonet, which included several of the composer's colleagues,[3] attempted to create an "historically accurate" representation of Dameron's music.[4]
