Alligator Gumbo
Based in Leeds, West Yorkshire, since forming in 2011, Alligator Gumbo have played extensively around the country to rave review, from rowdy bars to some of the UK’s most prestigious jazz festivals. They playing foot stomping jazz from the hey-day of the swing and jazz era, in particular the “roaring 20s”. This was a time when music was raw and largely improvised, with melodies and solos happening simultaneously which has now become defined as the ‘New Orleans’ sound. Alligator Gumbo strive to keep this style alive in their renditions of popular songs from this unique time and place.
