Hand-played New Orleans jazz, swing, boogie-woogie, and blues

Since 1956, Bourbon Street Jazzband has been at the top of Danish traditional jazz and has performed in most parts of the world. Most recently Spain in the winter of 2018.

Without the use of assistive technologies such as wheelchairs and stairlifts, the Silkeborg-based band has entered its 62nd year. The slogan 'Everybody deserves a great jazz band' is still valid and the recipe for a long and good life in the service of jazz continues to be hand-played New Orleans jazz, swing, boogie-woogie, and blues in juicy and original arrangements. And, not least, a good deal of humour.

The band's two founders are still on board and, throughout the years, Bourbon Street Jazzband has performed with stars such as LeRoy Jones, Monty Sunshine, Mr Acker Bilk, Al Grey, Otto Brandenburg, Jesper Thilo, Olivier Franc, and many others.
