Steamboat Willie
Just hearing the
Traditional Jazz music of Steamboat Willie at Café Beignet,
in Musical Legends Park, is a memorable experience. A
veteran of Dixieland and Traditional New Orleans Jazz, he
not only enchants the most discerning critic, he also has
the ability to excite those who are not yet experienced
veterans of this creative art form.
Steamboat Willie is a music historian
specializing in the 1920's era. One distinctive
aspect of his trumpet and vocal trademark lies in reviving
obscure tunes, as well as old favorites, in a traditional
jazz manner.
