THE NEW ORLEANS JOYMAKERS

A 7 piece traditional jazz band playing the music of the 1920s and 1930s.

We are always the pleased to have the New Orleans Joymakers return with a great night of music. The band is unique in that it combines the experience of Thomas, King and Walker, (a
combined 180 years musical experience) with the youth of Trenton and Douglas. Kelly and Palmer sit somewhere in between! It is happy, toe-tapping driving music that has attracted the attention of the Auckland Swing dance scene.

Personnel: Brian Kelly (Trumpet); Carlos Palmer (Clarinet); Jessie Douglas (Banjo); Hank Trenton
(Double Base; Bruce King (Drums), Merv Thomas (Trombone); and Spike Walker (Piano).

Members $15 cash
