Band Leader Barry Grummett describes New Orleans Heat as “a band playing the old style New Orleans jazz, recreating the music of the crescent city, be it a stomp, blues, hymn, spiritual or pop song of the day. In the style of the late great, Bunk Johnson, George Lewis and Kid Thomas bands. Our motto is “helping to keep the real jazz alive”. For the full story visit their website.
As the fans will attest, the band was certainly HOT STUFF at this year’s Hemsby Autumn Jazz Parade and what better than to let the photographs tell the story.
