The Dime Notes dig back into the blues-drenched sounds of clarinet-driven 1920’s New Orleans jazz, unearthing a repertoire of stomps, blueses, and forgotten gems of the era from musicians such as Johnny Dodds, Jelly Roll Morton and Red Nichols.

With Chris Barber’s long-time clarinetist David Horniblow, the unstoppable pulse of London’s finest rhythm guitarist Dave Kelbie and young bassist Louis Thomas, the band have quicky become popular both at clubs and swing dances in London.

The band has toured extensively in the UK, with appearances at festivals and theatres throughout the country as well as in Canada, Ukraine, Moldova, France, Germany, Denmark and the Netherlands.

The Dime Notes present a fresh take on a timeless style, emphasizing the propulsive grooves and sultry melodies which made early jazz revolutionary, controversial, and wildly popular.
