New Leviathan Oriental Fox-Trot Orchestra

10 years as part of this legendary New Orleans revival orchestra, founded in 1972. The 18+ piece ensemble performs authentic orchestrations of vintage American popular music from the 1890s through the 1930s — ragtime, early jazz, and forgotten Tin Pan Alley gems.

Featured in Woody Allen's Bullets Over Broadway (1994) and Mark Frost's Storyville (1992). Regulars at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival for over 30 years, with performances across the US and Europe.

Repertoire spans Jelly Roll Morton, Fletcher Henderson, Eubie Blake, and New Orleans composers like Larry Buck, Joe Verges, and Nick Clesi.
