The High Society New Orleans Jazz Band

A New Orleans-style jazz ensemble led by seasoned trumpeter Simon Wettenhall and Grammy-winning pianist Conal Fowkes has served as Woody Allen's preferred musical partner for decades, accompanying his films, tours, and regular performances. The group has graced the most prestigious concert venues across Europe and America. Its members have appeared in and contributed music to Woody Allen productions including Wild Man Blues, Sweet and Lowdown, Midnight in Paris, Blue Jasmine, Cafe Society, Magic In The Moonlight, and A Rainy Day In New York. Their energetic sound reflects the enduring vitality of New Orleans jazz, evidenced by their global following. Praised by critics and devoted jazz listeners alike, they have drawn icons such as Chick Corea, Marian McPartland, and Diana Krall to sit in during their twenty-year run at the Cafe Carlyle.
