THE NEW RAMPART STREET RAMBLERS

For the Very Best in New Orleans Jazz Music and Beyond!

​

The New Rampart Street Ramblers is a novel extension of Dave Wilson’s long standing New Orleans ensemble first featuring Traditional or Early jazz music. With a stellar lineup including some of the best in the Central PA area in this genre on saxophone/clarinet, trumpet, trombone, piano, bass, drums, as well as sometimes guitar, and adding vocals as well.

 

While still retaining a base of expertly performed Trad early jazz styles (such as Dixieland), the group now stretches into such varied stylings as New Orleans Funk, Second Line, and Party Music, (Meters, Maceo Parker, Neville Brothers), as well as often-humorous Novelty type of tunes (Yakety Sax, Tequila, Don’t Eat the Liverwurst,), Gospel inflected standards (This Little Light of Mine, Just a Closer Walk), Patriotic music (America the Beautiful, God Bless America), and even some tunes from the 1950’s.  

Dave Wilson is serious about this new group and is eager to take this kind of stylized music into a new, more varied, more modern direction (without sacrificing its roots), as we move through the 21st century.
