Squirrel Nut Zippers - Jazz from the Back O' Town LIVE at the Reeves

Squirrel Nut Zippers Present
Jazz from the Back O’ Town
A Musical Journey to the Birthplace of Jazz in 1920s New Orleans

Iconic New Orleans based Jazz Rockers Squirrel Nut Zippers will be taking fans on a magical, musical voyage to the birthplace of Jazz as they present Jazz from the Back O’ Town. The show explores the New Orleans Back O’ Town Jazz scene of the late 19th century through the Roaring Twenties as the Zippers provide a delightful view into this mystical era with reverent, yet exciting, renditions of such seminal classics as Jelly Roll Morton’s “Animule Ball,” Louis Armstrong’s “Back O’ Town Blues,” as well as favorites from their own catalog, adapted and arranged to more closely echo the sounds of 1920s New Orleans. Performed in era appropriate attire. The Platinum selling group has sold over three million albums to-date, with their watershed album, Hot (1996), making them a household name. Recorded in the heat of New Orleans, fueled by a smoldering mix of booze and a youthful hunger to unlock the secrets of old-world jazz, this pivotal release was just the beginning for the band.
