Description

Back by popular demand - THE BEST OF NEW ORLEANS JAZZ WITH FROG AND HENRY featuring Ewan Bleach
Formed in New Orleans as a collective of several street performing groups, Frog & Henry perform and record old dance and jazz music from the early 1900's on brass and string instruments, with nearly every instrumentalist contributing to vocals. Featuring Oxford's own
Ewan Bleach on lead vocals & clarinet, most of their repertoire is dug up from forgotten songs dating to the dawn of recorded music, in the form of early dance tunes, or from even earlier 19thc sheet music.
They've borrowed the phrase 'string and brass band' from the descriptions of the earliest dance and jazz bands; and in that tradition they feature violin and mandolin-banjo as melody instruments alongside clarinet, alto and baritone saxophone. They've also designed and built a foot-operated tuba that allows one person to play tuba and six-string banjo simultaneously.
