The Grove Street Stompers
Arthur's Tavern57 Grove Street, New York 10014
The Grove Street Stompers bring their Monday run to Arthur’s Tavern, billed as the Grove Street Stompers Dixieland Jazz Band. Expect a traditional-jazz set rooted in Dixieland and New Orleans-style playing, with the band carrying on a Monday engagement that Arthur’s Tavern says has been in place since 1962. No individual performers or further details of the evening’s lineup have been announced, so the focus is on the group’s established band sound rather than a named guest or special program.
The available information identifies the Grove Street Stompers as a Dixieland and traditional-jazz band, though it does not confirm the members, their home base, or a more detailed performance formation. Their long association with Arthur’s Tavern is the clearest part of their story: they have reportedly played the club every Monday since 1962. A listener’s review describes their music as “Dixieland and New Orleans style jazz,” praising them as “great musicians” who “put on a terrific show.” That points to a repertoire and approach built around early jazz traditions, delivered by a band with a remarkably durable place in the Tavern’s weekly calendar.
Arthur's Tavern is a basement club in the West Village where jazz, Latin, and blues are played with deep roots and modern energy. The stage is small, the room intimate, and the audience sits close to the musicians, often with a few people standing near the back. Shows start around 5 PM and go late, with some sets extending into the early hours. The club has a history of hosting top-tier performers since 2001, including regular appearances by Yuichi Hirakawa Jazz Group. It's a place where music is the center, and conversation flows naturally between the audience and the performers.
