The New Orleans Serenaders revisits the repertoire associated with famous jazz pioneers such as Kid Ory, Louis Armstrong and Jelly Roll Morton, bringing to life musical selections from all phases of their careers such as King Porter Stomp, Maple Leaf Rag, West End Blues, Climax Rag, Down Home Rag, Tom Cat Blues, and many more.
Gathered together by Clive Wilson, the members of the Serenaders have a long history of musical friendship and association going back over four decades. Playing with one another in jam sessions, concerts, recording sessions, parades and even New Orleans funerals, they have a profound sense of a shared experience and a common love of the New Orleans style music. Most of them spent considerable time during the 1960s and 1970s, their musically formative years, listening to, studying with, and playing with, the living legends of New Orleans jazz.
