New Orleans Swamp Donkeys

The New Orleans Swamp Donkeys Traditional Jass Band was formed in 2012 and specializes in hot jazz. “This was jazz as jass: the Donkeys carry a torch for the vintage New Orleans kind, and with a vengeance: in full flight they’re an exuberant and fairly unstoppable force.” The Scotsman “Recalls the New Orleans music of roughly a century ago, with youthful, high-spirited aplomb.” Nate Chinen/New York Times “Young devotees whose balance of spunk and funk keeps the heart of traditional jazz beating.” The New Yorker “One of the zingiest of the new hot jazz bands from the Crescent City.” The Wall Street Journal Traditional New Orleans "Jass" for the contemporary listener. http://www.swampdonkeyjass.com
