Musician Profile

Band Info

Bernard Strutt – Clarinet- a very experienced player with the bight of Johnny Dodds and sweetness of George Lewis when required. Steeped in the classic jazz period, he also enjoys playing the less disciplined style of revival New Orleans Jazz. Bernard was with the very popular Frog Island Jazz Band for many years playing all the classic Jelly Roll Morton, New Orleans Wanderers and Hot Five numbers. You will not hear a better Johnny Dodds style, classic rendering of ‘Perdido Street’ anywhere.
