The High Society New Orleans Jazz Band

Led by veteran trumpeter Simon Wettenhall and Grammy-winning pianist Conal Fowkes, The High Society New Orleans Jazz Band brings classic New Orleans style jazz to Birdland Theater. For decades, this ensemble has been Woody Allen's band of choice, performing in his films, concert tours, and weekly shows. The band's driving sound and international fan base attest to the enduring relevance of New Orleans jazz.

Attendees can expect a lively performance featuring clarinet, trombone, banjo, bass, and drums, with each musician a seasoned professional. The band's residency at the Cafe Carlyle attracted jazz legends like Chick Corea and Diana Krall, who occasionally sat in. This evening promises an authentic, swinging jazz experience in the intimate setting of Birdland Theater.
