007

007 has been rocking steady in New Orleans since 2000. The brainchild of G Love and
Special Sauce drummer Jeffrey "Houseman" Clemens, 007 is a forum for playing great
Jamaican music from the 60's by such artists as Desmond Dekker, Bob Marley and
Toots Hibbert (Toots and the Maytals). 007's members also play in some of the area's
best bands. Bassist Joe Cabral fronts The Iguanas on Bajo Sexto and tenor saxophone.
Composer and guitarist Jonathan Freilich founded the New Orleans Klezmer All-Stars
and plays guitar in many styles from jazz to folk. Alex McMurray plays guitar and sings
with Tin Men and the Happy Talk Band. Infectious dance grooves combined with three
part harmony singing and brilliant guitar improvisation are the hallmarks of this New
Orleans Party Institution. They have released three records, most recently “The Return
Of Ben Downlow” in 2024.
