It was the early 1950's Frank and Freddie Assunto and their Dukes of Dixieland had just started what would turn out to be a 3 1/2 year run playing at Hyp Guinle's Famous Door on Bourbon Street. About that same time drummer Paul Barbarin had just finished writing this signature tune and thought it only right to have these young and upcoming brothers and their band be the first to play and record it...it was an instant hit and to this day it is Bourbon Street's most recognized jazz tune.
The Assunto Dukes Tribute recognize and celebrate the Assunto legacy by playing great traditional Dixieland Jazz in the style of Frank, Freddie and Papa Jac Assunto.
“The Assunto Dukes" is the only band legitimately sanctioned by The Assunto Family, by The Estate of Frank Assunto. who, in 1950, started The Dukes of Dixieland(1947-1974), with his brother Freddie Assunto on trombone.
Frank and Freddie died tragically young, but in the 1950's and and 1960's, they sold millions of records, made countless TV appearances, and were called by Ed Sullivan, “The number 1 jazz combo in the country.”
Today, the band is made up of a solid group of top shelf musicians who appreciate, understand, and honor the legacy of the Assunto family’s contributions to New Orleans Jazz. They are a very professional group that always brings the best of New Orleans Jazz and history to every audience. While there is no intention of duplicating the music of yesteryear, the Assunto Dukes strive to interpret the repertoire to the best of their ability, relying on the influence and inspiration of the Assunto family. It is a firm belief of the Assunto Dukes that the music Frank and Freddie Assunto created, the Dukes of Dixieland(1947-1974), cannot be duplicated, the enthusiasm and musicianship will certainly be representative of the Original Dukes.
