The Rae Brothers New Orleans Jazz Band

The Rae Brothers New Orleans Jazz Band was formed in 1995. With Dave Rae playing banjo, Mac switching from drums to clarinet, (the instrument he played during the fifties), with Ian Brown on cornet and later Clem Avery on trumpet, they set out to capture the sound and feeling described by Ken Colyer as the “New Orleans Bounce”, a style made famous by the musicians who lived and worked in and around New Orleans Louisiana.
