Traditional Jazz

EDWISE and his New Orleans Jazz Band

Ten years in the cradle of jazz -- New Orleans -- has given Ed the opportunity to learn and absorb the style and feel of what he and most New Orleans musicians prefer to call “traditional jazz”, usually referred to as “Dixieland”. In March of 2005, just five months before Hurricane Katrina brought her devastation to the Crescent City, Ed assembled seven of the finest players in the traditional style to record a CD of his own arrangements, transcriptions and adaptations of early jazz music.

Bringing the library of music from this recording session with him to Philadelphia, Ed now offers to the City of Brotherly Love the finest traditional jazz heard on the East Coast.

Ed is currently accepting bookings for this great 8-piece ensemble.To book him, e-mail or phone him at 215-279-0617.
