The High Society New Orleans Jazz Band
Classic Dixieland Revived
Dedicated to authentic New Orleans and Dixieland sounds, this enduring ensemble brings the joy and spirit of early jazz to every performance.
About
Led by trumpeter Simon Wettenhall and Grammy-winning pianist Conal Fowkes, The High Society New Orleans Jazz Band specializes in traditional New Orleans jazz and has been Woody Allen's ensemble of choice for his films and performances for decades. The band has performed on major concert stages across Europe and the United States, and hosted collaborations with jazz luminaries including Chick Corea, Marian McPartland, and Diana Krall during their twenty-year residency at Cafe Carlyle in New York.
Music Style
Their music is characterized by lively ensemble improvisations, a driving rhythmic section, and a repertoire spanning classic jazz standards and lesser-known gems from the golden age of New Orleans jazz.
