Barrelhouse Jazzband - The Barrelhouse Jazzband

Review by Waynette Tubbs

The Barrelhouse Jazzband's self-titled album is a delightful addition to any jazz lover's collection. The album features the band's signature style of traditional New Orleans jazz, with lively and upbeat performances that are sure to get listeners tapping their feet.

The album opens with the energetic "Bourbon Street Parade," which sets the tone for the rest of the album. The band's tight musicianship and infectious energy are on full display throughout the record, with standout tracks like "When the Saints Go Marching In" and "St. James Infirmary Blues."

One of the album's strengths is the way in which the band members play off one another. Each musician is given ample space to shine, with standout solos from the clarinet, trumpet, and trombone players. The rhythm section also deserves praise, with the piano and drums providing a solid foundation for the rest of the band to build upon.
