Formed in 2015 and initially developing out of a series of informal workshop sessions in South London, the The Dapper Dynamos are an all-star quintet dedicated to performing and recording authentic 1920s small-group jazz. Specialising in the kind of blistering ‘hot stomps’ inspired by the records of the California Ramblers, Jelly Roll Morton’s Red Hot Peppers, Johnny Dodds’ Hometown Band and others, the Five include sensational virtuosi from the UK, USA and Australia. Its members have collectively performed around the world at clubs and festivals with top bands in many genres, including Chris Barber and Acker Bilk, in the house band for Downton Abbey, and perform regularly with other London-based early jazz outfits including the Alex Mendham Orchestra, Shirt Tail Stompers, Dime Notes, Old Hat Jazz Band and many others.
