QCJB has embraced old and new second-line styles from the streets of New Orleans. The music of New Orleans artists like Trombone Shorty and Dr. John and bands like the Rebirth Brass Band and the Treme Brass Band have inspired us to discover new rhythms and melodies that are thrilling our concert and party audiences. The old Dixieland styles of Louis Armstrong and Bessie Smith will never be out of date, and we are well known for playing early jazz with energy and respect. We also know that our future and the future of our music depends on attracting new audiences and younger audiences.
