This will be their third tour of Ontario, enroute to a recording session in New Jersey.

They have performed with some legendary jazz musicians including Jabbo Smith, Ikey Robinson, Benny Waters, Doc Cheatham, Turk Murphy, Topsy Chapman, Bob Barnard, Jim Galloway, Humphrey Lyttleton and Claude Luter, to name just a few.

The group currently features Michel Bastide (cornet and valve trombone, vocals), Bernard Antherieu (clarinet, alto-sax, banjo, vocals), Philippe Raspail (tenor-sax, alto-sax, clarinet, vocals), Martin Seck (piano, vocals), Jean-Pierre Dubois (banjo, clarinet, vocals) and Christian Lefevre (tuba, valve trombone, vocals).
