The Julian’s New Orleans Jazz Friends
Since its formation, the group has always aimed to perform New Orleans jazz as it was performed by the pioneers.
Jazz musicians from the golden age of New Orleans were chosen as sources of inspiration, such as
Georges Lewis, Bunk Johnson and Kid Ory. The Julians have systematically developed their own style whilst remaining true to the old jazz tradition; they play the typical, traditional, authentic, living New Orleans jazz. Jazz as it was played 100 years ago and which has lost none of its freshness or vitality.
