New Orleans High Society delivers a bold, contemporary take on traditional jazz that captivates audiences and energizes stages of all sizes. Fronted by magnetic vocalist Angie Z, the band features a lineup of heavy-hitting, in-demand musicians: David Bode on reeds, Peter Gustafson on trombone, Xavier Molina on trumpet and percussion, Yacine Witley-Sebti on piano, Amina Scott on bass, and Trenton O'Neal on drums.

Drawing from the deep well of New Orleans musical history, the band blends tight arrangements, fiery solos, and a fresh repertoire to create a sound that’s both rooted and forward-looking. While they honor the foundational grooves of early jazz and second line traditions, New Orleans High Society pushes the boundaries by incorporating elements of funk, hip-hop, Afro-Cuban rhythms, and modern soul to create a high-energy, genre-crossing experience that appeals to both jazz aficionados and new audiences alike.

Equally at home on festival stages, in small clubs, or at private events, their set can range from roaring, danceable second lines to intimate vocal features to hard-grooving instrumental jams. New Orleans High Society made their French Quarter Fest debut in 2026 and are recording a follow up to their critically acclaimed self-titled debut that will be released in 2027.

New Orleans High Society brings professionalism, personality, and crowd engagement to every performance and always delivers music that’s authentic, electrifying, and built to connect.
