New Orleans High Society Debut Album

New Orleans High Society originally started with a weekly gig in the birthplace of jazz, New Orleans, LA. As the members of the band to to know each other better, a distinctive interpretation of the New Orleans repertoire began to emerge with the sound of traditional jazz as its base but with sprinklings of Afro-Cuban, gospel, and modern trip-hop mixed in. After playing together for over 18 months, the band decided to record an album, resulting in their self-title debut.

The album was released by 1718 Records on November 13th, 2020 through Slammin Media distributed World Wide by Believe Distribution

“The mood is good time, raise a drink, and have a ball.” - Dave Luhrssen

— Shepherd Express

“While you may not be able to attend a gig in the Crescent City these days, the New Orleans High Society gives a sonic portrait of what you’re missing.” - George W. Harris

— Jazz Weekly

“A pleasant rendition of the New Orleans folk standard "Lil' Liza Jane" closes a well-played, imaginative, and entertaining traditional jazz rooted recording.” - Ron Weinstock

— In a Blue Mood

“Amazingly, New Orleans High Society had only been playing together for a bit over 18 months before recording this exceptional first album. With this kind of chemistry, you’d think they’d have years- if not decades- under their belt, and it results in one of the best jazz endeavors of the year. 9/10” - Tom Haugen

— Take Effect

““A band that grew and grew together out of a weekly Nawlins gig, this bunch sounds retro until you notice the young ‘uns slipping some trip hop into the second line funk. Like a page out of Louis Prima's Nawlins in real time, they got a feel for the sound and fury and the resulting set is a gasser of olde tyme Dixieland complete with proper period songs. Get hep to this jive, daddio.” ”

— Midwest Record

“The brass section is so full of life, I feel like they’ll leap right out of my stereo speakers and turn my apartment into Bourbon Street. Or perhaps I could jump through the speakers into the land of the music.” - Michael Doherty
