| The Oxford
Street Stompers played Old Style New Orleans Jazz....
It is
unfortunate that due to retirements and ill health this band is no
longer able to appear live

 Old Style New Orleans Jazz. |
||||
| The
Oxford Street Stompers are a traditional style New Orleans jazz band comprising trumpet, clarinet, trombone, sousaphone, banjo & drums and, are available to play New Orleans jazz in and around Southampton, England. |
||||
Now you can hear The Oxford Street
Stompers recorded
live (yes
they are still Live) in front of an audience as well
!!
(we
think most of them were live when we started) |

|
||||
| The
Oxford Street Stompers started life as a "pick up" band to play weekly at a pub / wine bar called 25 Oxford Street in Southampton. The gig started off every Wednesday and continued on and off for two years ending up monthly on a Monday until May 1998 . (It's been suggested that playing 4 gigs at 25 Oxford Street = 1 at 100 Oxford Street ! ! !) |
||||
| The
Oxford Street Stompers have developed into a regular band and have performed many other gigs in the Southampton area, some public and some private under this and other names, often taking the venue name, (the band's the same only the name has been changed to protect the innocent!) |
||||
| The
Oxford Street Stompers play a repertoire of early Jazz tunes by composers such as W.C. Handley, Spencer Williams, Clarence Williams, Joe "King" Oliver and many others. These all provide the basis for a good foot tapping or dancing evening. |
