About the SCS

 

Sunset Cafe Stompers play exciting traditional jazz in the style of the New Orleans pioneers.  The band  takes its name from the famous night-spot on Chicago's South Side, owned by Al Capone, where Louis Armstrong once played.

Our authentic 1920s seven-piece line-up and distinctive, danceable sound make the Sunset Cafe a popular choice for all kinds of parties, celebrations and events.

Formed in 1989, with a mission to become the finest exponents of the New Orleans sound in the South West, the SCS have acquired a strong following in their home territory, and a national reputation. Based in Wessex, we occasionally tour to jazz clubs further afield, and have appeared frequently at the Bude, Keswick and other major festivals.

Our repertoire, while firmly rooted in New Orleans, covers a wider range than most British bands and includes compositions made famous by Duke Ellington, King Oliver and Jelly Roll Morton.
