Founded in 1997 by guitarist Richard Barnes, the band had one simple mission - to preserve the music of an era forgotten, the "Roaring 20s", the "Jazz Age", and the "Gatsby Era". Sadly, the beginnings of Jazz, Blues, Swing and Popular music have been lost or looked over in the history books and many of the pioneers of Jazz have all but been forgotten by the general public.
