About
Banjojazz, a term coined by Jack Convery, was named for an all American creation- Jazz Music.- and for an American instrument, the banjo. Playing banjo since they were 10 years old, Jack Convery and Howard Alden have been musical friends for over 40 years.
Alden famously coached Sean Penn on how to play the guitar and soloed on the guitar sound track for Penn’s role as a Django-style guitarist in the 1999 Woody Allen movie, Sweet and Lowdown. Alden also played with Woody Allen, Joe Williams and Woody Herman.
