Overview

The “Levee Jazz Band” can add a unique mixture of New Orleans flavor and a party atmosphere to any function. The cordial tones of the Guitar or Banjo mixed with the melodic lines of the Flugelhorn and fused together with the Upright Bass, Jazz Drummer and Vocals provide for a festive atmosphere in those situations that don’t require a large orchestra. We can tailor the size of the band from 2 pieces to a 5 or 6 piece Brass Band and even add a Grand Marshall if needed.
Specializing in music ranging from Dixieland Jazz and Mardi Gras /Second Line sound, traditional jazz standards, swing and blues, the group has played conventions, jazz dinners, weddings, parties, etc.

AMAZING band for our corporate event

The Levee band was absolutely everything and more that we wanted for our corporate event entertainment. They arrived promptly, were super sweet and even asked what type of music/specific songs we wanted them to play! They also asked what the vibe of the night would be and if we wanted singing or not since it was a corporate networking event. They took very short breaks and went right back into the music seamlessly. We really appreciate them and will definitely book them for our event at Palace Café next year! THANK YOU GUYS!

Perfect Jazz trio for 40th birthday party

I booked the Levee Jazz Band for my 40th b-day in NOLA, and they were the perfect choice. Excellent musicians, and very easy to work with. I'd definitely recommend them to others.

Terrific Trio

Larry and the Levee Jazz Band were outstanding. They selected music that fit our group's age group and readily accommodated requested. We are a Navy group and they incorporated Anchors Away for us and Larry played Taps for us at our memorial ceremony for our departed shipmates. Best group we have ever had.
