New Orleans, the birthplace of jazz band music, and also the melting pot for so much modern music. A New Orleans Jazz Band means so many things to different people. To some it’s Dr John, with his rough gravelly voice, rolling piano style and laid back delivery. Others conjure up the sound of Louis Armstrong’s astonishing trumpet, wailing over a band. Maybe Fats Domino performing with his band one of his many hits such as “I’m Walkin” and “Blueberry Hill”. Others think of a group of mourners walking behind a coffin, attending a jazz funeral, with a slow, sad hymn played by a New Orleans Funeral Jazz Band.

The we have Jelly Roll Morton who would sell and market himself by bragging of his own stunning abilities! The combination of cultural influences from the many peoples who ended up in New Orleans including Spanish, African, French and Scottish helped create the music we know today as jazz.
