About the artist
Bob Wallis & His Storyville Jazzmen
Bob Wallis and his Storyville Jazzmen may not be a household name, but in the world of traditional jazz, they are nothing short of legends. Hailing from the UK, Wallis and his band were at the forefront of the British trad jazz movement in the 1960s, bringing a unique blend of New Orleans-style jazz to audiences across the country. Known for their raucous live performances and infectious energy, the Storyville Jazzmen quickly gained a reputation as one of the most entertaining acts on the scene. With Wallis leading the charge on vocals and trumpet, the band's sound was a lively mix of Dixieland, swing, and blues, guaranteed to get even the most stoic listeners tapping their feet. But don't let their playful onstage antics fool you - the Storyville Jazzmen were serious musicians with serious chops. Wallis himself was a skilled trumpeter with a distinctive, brassy tone, and the rest of the band were equally adept at their respective instruments, creating a tight-knit ensemble that could rival any American jazz outfit. Despite their success in the 1960s, the Storyville Jazzmen never quite achieved the same level of mainstream recognition as some of their contemporaries. But for those in the know, Bob Wallis and his band remain essential listening for anyone interested in the history of British jazz. So next time you're in the mood for some swinging, toe-tapping tunes, give the Storyville Jazzmen a spin - you won't be disappointed.
