Sunset Café Stompers Jazz Band Concert

This 7-piece New Orleans-style jazz band plays vintage jazz from 20s and 30s New Orleans, Chicago and New York and popular hit tunes from the inter-war years.

The Sunset Cafe was a top prohibition-era night-spot on Chicago’s infamous Southside owned by Al Capone with Louis Armstrong as one of its main attractions. The Sunset Cafe Stompers play the music of that period… great tunes from Scott Joplin, Irving Berlin, Jelly Roll Morton, Duke Ellington, Fats Waller… but the band’s wide repertoire also features songs made famous by artists as diverse as Patsy Cline, Marilyn Monroe, the Inkspots, Fats Domino… even Elvis.

This seven-piece outfit is widely recognised as one of the finest New Orleans style jazz bands in England today.
