Central City Stompers

The music that they play is often called “Classic Jazz”; mostly popular tunes from the first half of the 20th century with liberal doses of blues and ragtime. Some call it “Dixieland”, or “Hot Jazz”, or “New Orleans Style”. Their inspirations include King Oliver’s Creole Jazz Band, Turk Murphy’s Jazz band, the South Frisco Jazz Band, the Yerba Buena Stompers, and many other bands that can still be heard today at traditional jazz festivals all over the world.
