The BYU Jazz LegacY DixieLanD BanD

In 1980, its director, Steve Call, founded the BYU Jazz Legacy Dixieland Band. The ensemble has performed at venues throughout North America, including the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington DC., and seven International Jazz Education Conferences in the United States and Canada. The band specializes in the music of New Orleans jazz masters such as Jelly Roll Morton, King Oliver, Sidney Bechet, and—of course—Louis Armstrong.

The new hoT 5 Jazz BanD

When the BYU Jazz Legacy Dixieland Band had to decline an invitation to perform at a French jazz festival in 2009, Steve Call decided to put together a band of former students to play the Jazz en Vercors Festival in the French Alps. This was the birth of The New Hot 5 Jazz Band. Since that time, the band has returned for performances in France and has performed concerts and TV appearances in the United States.

During it’s trip to France in August 2011, the band was playing in the alpine village of Autrans where an amiable heard of cows were scattered across a pasture next to the performance venue. As the band was setting up, Steve took his tuba to the fence and began playing as his son, Bruce, had the video camera rolling. The enthusiastic response of the cows as the rest of the band joined in was recorded and later posted on YouTube. The rest is history.

Now at over 13 million views, Jazz for Cows by The New Hot 5 has the highest number of views in the Dixieland Jazz and New Orleans Jazz music categories in the history of YouTube. According to YouTube statistics, the New Hot 5 was for a time the highest rated jazz music video in the website’s history. They also have the number one Cow video!
