Take a Look at Our Fine House Bands
Never a Cover Mon - Thur
The New Orleans Creole Restaurant is on the short list of Seattle venues offering quality live jazz and blues every night of the week.
A family-friendly place, The New Orleans welcomes minors to the dining room to eat and enjoy the music until 10:00pm.
You can make the New Orleans an entertaining, enjoyable,
reasonably-priced evening
out for the whole family. Mom and Dad can have a dance in the aisles, the kids
get a chance to hear live jazz, and you'll
still get everyone home at a reasonable hour.
Mondays: 6:30 - 9:30p.m.
The New Orleans Quintet
Since 1985, the New Orleans Quintet has been entertaining our Monday night audiences with a broad repertoire of jazz, blues, and swing from the jazz's days as a youngster.
The relaxed demeanor of this group belies the spirit and energy emanating from the stage when they play.
If you can listen to these guys and not tap your feet, there's just no no tap in 'em. But, while your feet are moving, you may as well take a few turns and a dip or two in the aisle. Everybody else does.

Louis Armstrong's Someday You'll Be Sorry
Tuesdays: 7:00 - 10:00 p.m.
Holotradband
Drop into the New Orleans Creole Restaurant on a Tuesday evening and give this band a listen. Make a special trip if you have to, it's worth it!
Dancers love this band, as evidenced by their headline appearances at both the 2006 and 2007 Northwest Balboa Festivals.
Whether you enjoy listening - or dancing - to very good, very hot, live jazz, come down and spend an evening with Holotradband at the New Orleans Creole Restaurant. It's a great way to spice up your week. Guaranteed!
Holotradband plays Jelly Roll Morton's Wolverine Blues
Wednesdays: 8:00 - 11:00pm
The Legend Band w/ Clarence Acox
The Legend Band lead by Clarence Acox features some of the Seattle area's favorite and most well-known jazz musicians. The Wednesday night tradition of straight ahead jazz at the New Orleans lives on.
Clarence's impeccable jazz credentials includes not only his impressive resume as a working musician, but his national prominence as as an educator, and his distinguished career as a mentor and inspiration for many of Seattle's up and coming youngsters in the world of jazz.
You'll want to hear this group.
Clarence Acox plays Save Your Love For Me
First Thursdays: 7:00 - 10:00p.m.
The Bob Jackson Band
First Thursdays of every month will feature authentic New Orleans style traditional jazz featuring Bob Jackson on trumpet, Steve Wright playing reeds, Ray Skjelbred on piano, and Buddy Cattlet on bass. C'mon down and sit a spell. Your ears will think you're in "the quarter" circa 1928.
The Ham Carson Quintet
Ham Carson and his battery of reed instruments are long a fixture on the Seattle swing scene. Ham's group plays it hot and high energy.
Pull up a chair or carve out your own little spot in the aisle for dancing. The young swing dancers about town really love Ham's group as his many appearances about Seattle will attest.
Hamilton Carson Quartet plays Rosetta
