Bourbon Street Stompers

But what sets this band apart from the average?

First of all it is the close friendship among the seven band members, which has been developing over the years and enables us to stand our ground against professional bands. Moreover, we wish to unleash this vital and infectious music and let it carry away our audience whenever we get together on stage.

Throughout our stylistic development we have been constantly moving back towards the intrinsic roots of Jazz. In discovering New Orleans Hot Jazz from the early 20's and 30's, we admit that we were at first put off by the hiss and crackle of the old recordings, but fortunately we persisted in our diligent search. Hence, we take great pride in paying our utmost tribute to those great Jazz musicians who are widely considered as the creators of Jazz. To list only a few of them: King Oliver, Louis Armstrong, Luis Russel, Ferdinand "Jelly Roll" Morton, Clarence Williams or Duke Ellington. We wish to take a leaf out of their book.

Wherever this is going, we'd love if you strolled along with us "back to the roots"!
