Digging back into the blues-drenched sounds of clarinet-driven 1920’s New Orleans jazz the band unearth a repertoire of stomps, blues, and forgotten gems of the era from musicians such as Johnny Dodds, Jelly Roll Morton and Red Nichols. Fronted by Chris Barber’s long-time clarinetist David Horniblow, the band features American Jelly Roll Morton specialist Andrew Oliver, the unstoppable pulse rhythm guitarist Dave Kelbie and the swing and versatility of bassist Tom Wheatley.
