Review: Norrie Cox & His New Orleans Stompers, "Dance Hall Days"
Reviewed by Lars Gandil
Reprinted from Victory Music Review, 4/00

Although better known for its fine blues albums, the Delmark label also covers a fair amount of jazz as well. This release by clarinetist Norrie Cox is a case in point. Cox grew up in England during the heyday of the traditional jazz boom of the fifties. Now a Milwaukee resident, he is busy promoting Dixieland style jazz through various groups including one band made up of inner city teenagers. This recording features a more mature lineup. The music is pure Dixieland and with a repertoire that will be familiar to any aficionado of the genre. Though there are no surprises here it is nevertheless a very enjoyable CD.
