The Secret Six
The Secret Six is the latest hot jazz band to establish itself in New Orleans, joining in the top tier an exciting roster of groups that formed in the years following Katrina including Tuba Skinny, the Shotgun Jazz Band, and the Smoking Time Jazz Club. There were many others in intervening years but perhaps The Secret Six represent a new wave of creativity following the lockdown shakeup.
They formed as a direct result of the pandemic, which forced the post Katrina jazz revival out of the bars and back to its roots on the street. Musicians need to keep their chops up, and make money, and for normally busy musicians with cabin fever the parks of New Orleans became a 2020 refuge. A few of those musicians, all from other bands, began referring to their busking band as The Secret 6, however many they actually were. Learn more HERE.
