The Paumanok Stompers at Bay Street Theater

The Paumanok Stompers Traditional Jazz Band is a collective jazz band founded and run by trumpeter, vocalist and band leader Marc Johnson of Brightwaters, NY. They are composed entirely of Long Island musicians with a passion for traditional (aka. Dixieland) jazz originating from New Orleans. The Paumanok Stompers are one of very few actively gigging jazz bands on Long Island and the only jazz band on Long Island exclusively performing Traditional New Orleans Jazz. Their mission is to promote live music on Long Island, bring excitement and variety to the otherwise homogeneous Long Island music scene and to expand the breadth of traditional jazz beyond New Orleans, New York City and the handful of other locations where it’s commonly heard.
