For over eighteen years The New Orleans Jazz Vipers have been an institution of Swing music on Frenchmen Street, the jazz mecca of New Orleans.The Jazz Vipers have been regarded by many as pioneers of the “Frenchmen Street Swing Renaissance.” With infectious rhythm, spirited horns, and a diverse line-up of vocals, they are all that is swing and all that is New Orleans.
Among other weekly shows, The Jazz Vipers have performed their weekly gig at The Spotted Cat Music Club since the infancy of New Orleans’ vibrant Frenchman street music scene. They have been featured on the HBO show Treme playing their original tune “I Hope You’re Coming Back to New Orleans” and their most recent album “Live and Viperizin'” has been selling rapidly both nationally and internationally.
