The Rampart Street Ramblers takes its name from that legendary street in New Orleans where jazz originated, flourished, and lives on today. As one might expect, the band carries on the tradition of the original, traditional New Orleans and Dixieland style of jazz music.

Founded some years ago by the well-known jazz clarinet and saxophone stylist Dave Wilson, the Rampart Street Ramblers are the very best exponents of this music; a top notch all-star group of traditional musicians on trumpet, trombone, clarinet & saxophones, piano or banjo, bass or tuba from Central Pennsylvania and beyond.
