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.

We are so happy we hired Levee Jazz Band for our wedding welcome reception! The band was very professional, showed up on time, took any special requests and was just all around THE BEST! I cannot say enough good things about Larry and his band.

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!

The band was there on time. Their music was great. They provided a festive atmosphere for the party but were not too loud. Everyone enjoyed them.

Response from "Levee Jazz Band":
What a wonderful event....except for the weather....We were going to play a little longer but it seemed like the venue manager wanted to shut it down right on time. Wishing both bride and groom the BEST of everything in life !!!!!
Played a rehearsal dinner and each and every person greatly enjoyed them. Perfect for an all ages event. I highly recommend them and would book them again.

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.
Jazz Band
The Levee Jazz Band played for our open house and they helped make our party a huge success. They were professional, their sound is great and we will use them again.
