New Orleans jazz traditionalists The Smoking Time Jazz Club will be celebrating the release of their new studio album, "Everything Is Righteous," on Sunday, February 1 from 9pm-11:30pm at the Allways Lounge. This is a fun and rare opportunity to catch this band outside of their usual French Quarter/Frenchmen Street haunts.

"We find delight and inspiration from songs by the great turn of the century artists who made jazz the cultural legacy it is today," they said. The new album includes classics like Deep Henderson, The Chant, and Black Cat Moan while also venturing into slightly new territory for the group with the Latin-tinged Ubanga Man.

The Smoking Time Jazz Club have been mainstays at Maison, The Spotted Cat, Royal Street, and other familiar hot spots for years, reviving the music of the 1920s and 1930s for today's jazz fans and swing dancers. At the release show, the band promises to swing hard with Sarah Peterson singing (check out our interview with her at the link!), Craig Flory, Tomas Majcherski, and Byron Asher alternating between the tenor saxophone, alto saxophone and clarinet, Joseph Faison on guitar, Colin Myers on trombone, Jack Pritchett on cornet, John Joyce on upright bass, and Mike Voelker on drums. If the day after the Krewe du Vieux parade leaves you wanting more revelry, this is a good opportunity to bring out your dancing shoes.
