The Smoking Time Jazz Club is for fans of the classic New Orleans sound. The Smoking Time Jazz Club landed in New Orleans after touring around the world by bicycle with the Cyclown Circus in over 45 countries for eight years. Their traveling menagerie included the jazz band, a circus, and an upright bass, plus nine clowns on tall bikes. ""After all that,"" bass player John Joyce relates, ""what else was there to do but stay here and soak up some culture from the New Orleans, the place where it all started?!"""
