Six & Seven-Eights String Band of New Orleans - Six and Seven-Eights String Band of New Orleans

New Orleans string band jazz was popular between 1910 and 1925, but the genre was seldom recorded. This ensemble-featuring Bill Kleppinger, Bernie Shields, Edmond Souchon, and Frank "Red" Mackie-began playing in 1913 and performs the traditional New Orleans jazz band repertoire on mandolin, guitar, steel guitar, and bass.
