About the Performance
About the Band
Boomtown Brass Band performs the high-energy hot jazz of 1920s New Orleans, featuring the incredible interplay of guitar, banjo, tuba, saxophone, clarinet, cornet, and trombone. Boomtown is Houston’s only dedicated traditional jazz ensemble, citing among its influences the Louis Armstrong Hot Five and Hot Seven, King Oliver, New Orleans Rhythm Kings, and Original Dixieland Jass Band, to name a few. Boomtown Brass Band’s mission: keeping the origins of what is arguably the only original American art form not just alive, but dancing, singing, and celebrating.
