Cornet Chop Suey has enjoyed a rapid rise since 2001 when they performed for the first time at the Sacramento Jazz Jubilee. The seven piece band plays traditional jazz to bop as well as pop tunes in a show style. The band is named after an obscure Louis Armstrong composition and performs a Louis Armstrong set at most festivals. They are best known for a wide variety of styles.
This well-traveled band has toured across the country playing over 17 various festivals in one year alone as well as performances in Europe, South America, Mexico, Australia, New Zealand and Germany among others.
