About Secret Six Jazz Band:

The Secret Six is a New Orleans traditional jazz band evoking the rich style of collective improvisation and ensemble playing. They are most known for stomps, blues, rags, and no-frills hot jazz.  The Secret Six (named after abolitionist John Brown’s Secret Society Of Six from 1859) originated during the pandemic in 2020 as a New Orleans sextet. During that period they recorded their excellent CD called Secret Six. Now for their second release, the group, which was originally comprised of James Evans (clarinet, tenor, trombone, and vocals), cornetist Reid Poole, trombonist Russell Ramirez, banjoist-guitarist-vocalist Hunter Burgamy, bassist-vocalist John Joyce, and Mike Voelker on washboard and drums, has been expanded to an octet with the addition of cornetist Satoru Ohashi and Jory Wood is on clarinet and saxophone.
