Milneburg Jazz Band
Named after the famous Milneburg Amusement Park on Lake Ponchartrain, north of New Orleans, the Milneburg Jazz Band plays traditional jazz associated with New Orleans when jazz was young.
Over the years, we’ve expanded our repertoire to include most of the popular swing jazz standards from the 1930s ‘40s and ‘50s. We named our latest recording “By Request” and always welcome tune requests from audiences.
We are ideal for private parties and BBQs, jazz societies, outdoor events, birthdays, anniversaries, reunions, Mardi Gras themed events, or any event that needs some toe-tapping energy and fun.
Our trio - clarinet/saxophone, guitar/banjo, and string bass - is highly portable and compact, and we’re never too loud. We can set up in small spaces in restaurants, meeting rooms, private homes, or on a deck or patio. We can add additional instruments to augment our sound as needed.
The Milneburg Trio began as the house band for Tapalaya, a New Orleans-themed restaurant in Portland, OR where we performed weekly for nearly ten years until a change of ownership in 2018. From 2014 to 2020, the Milneburg Trio was the house band at Troutini Supper Club in Troutdale, Oregon.
With our decades of professional music experience, you can be sure that you will get a professional and fun performance. We arrive early, look and sound good, and do everything possible to help make your event a success.
