New Orleans “Traditional”
Jazz & Funeral Band

The Funeral Jazz Band has long been part of the traditional New Orleans Funeral. Jazz Bands accompanied the funeral mourners to the gravesite, playing slow spirituals, known as a “Dirge”. “Just a Closer Walk with Thee” and “Nearer My God to Thee” were two favorites. Once the body had been interned, the Jazz Band began to play some rousing New Orleans Jazz to celebrate the life of the recently deceased. This was known as the “Second Line”. One favorite typically played was “When the Saints Come Marching In. This tradition announced to the community that another soul had gone home.
