Friday: Mike Denham and the Sunset Cafe Stompers

Described recently by Just Jazz magazine as “one of the best bands of its kind in the land”, the Stompers are a six-piece outfit playing music of the New Orleans dance halls a century ago, and of the early great jazz band leaders including Jelly Roll Morton and Duke Ellington.

Led by popular local pianist Mike Denham, the band has a national reputation and their last appearance for Dorchester Arts was a sell-out. They will be playing again at Dorchester Corn Exchange on Friday, April 14.
