I specialise in New Orleans-style traditional jazz from around the turn of the century till about 1930 including hits by Jelly Roll Morton and Fats Waller. This music is old, fun and always feel-good.
My repertoire also includes;
Ragtime classics by the great Scott Joplin, Rhumbas and Boogie Woogies by the likes of Professor Longhair and Dr. John, Blues and Gospel in the style of James Booker and Allen Toussiant.
However, if you fancy something a bit more modern, I have a huge repetoire of rock and pop that I can flip into that good-old New Orleans style into at the drop of a hat!
