WELCOME TO: BETTER LATE THAN JAKE

Ten years ago on Burgundy St, in the Marigny section of New Orleans, the sounds of the band were initially struck.

With Rian T. on Hammond organ, and myself (Doc), on guitar, we began a tradition of playing music we loved: soulful, bluesy tunes - you know, the good stuff!

With the addition of Charlie Y. on trumpet a couple of years later, the style of the band became truly defined.

In 2024, after a lot of changes, the present group of skilled musicians finally coalesced –

Myself, Doc on guitar, Dave P. on bass, Dan M. on keys, Eddie G. on drums, and our newest man, Stitch on sax.

The “soul jazz” music we play has evolved into a groove oriented, funky style that makes you want to hear, see, and feel more,

and when we’re cookin’ - look out – the fun has truly begun!
