“The essence of music in New Orleans has always been that it consists of sounds and rhythms that are irresistible for dancing. The Panorama Jazz Band, as the name implies, covers a wide range of material...
that transforms the audience into swinging participants whose exuberant gyrations contribute as much to the euphoria as do the musicians.”
– Dr. Michael White; Clarinetist & Jazz Historian

Because the members of the Panorama Jazz Band need no electricity to fire up their instruments, they express natural human energy and bring their unique party to any bar room, street corner or back porch. The instruments in this band – clarinet, saxophone, trombone, accordion, banjo, tuba and drums – have been inspiring people to dance for generations. The group’s repertoire draws on the most exciting music from around the world: funky New Orleans Jazz, tropical rhythms of the Caribbean and exotic melodies of Eastern Europe. When they play feet stomp, hands clap and hips shake. Rowdy or gentle, sweet or hot – people move!

Founded in 1995, the Panorama Jazz Band has been a continuous presence on the New Orleans music scene. Equally at home in the Crescent City’s numerous nightclubs, at intimate French Quarter soirees or at
international music festivals, this collection of Louisiana musicians, with their traditional instruments and their fascinating repertoire, have proven over the years that they can come into any situation, capture anybody’s attention and bring a party!

“I’m not sure how they do it: find such great music from so many different places and then play it like they came up with it in the first place, all the while injecting all the positive attributes we associate with the best music of New Orleans.”
– Mark Rubin; Musician, Band Leader & Producer
