Arcadia Dance Orchestra

The Arcadia Dance Orchestra is a vibrant 11-piece band from St. Louis, founded in 2017 under the leadership of England born trumpeter T.J. Müller. Müller is known for his charismatic approach to early jazz, energetic stage presence, and profound commitment to sharing the stories and historical context behind the music. Specializing in reviving the vibrant local music scene of St. Louis during the Roaring Twenties, The Arcadia Dance Orchestra serves as a platform for local musicians to authentically perform St. Louis Jazz from the 1920s, celebrating the enduring legacies of the city’s pioneering jazz artists. The group consists of 11 musicians skilled in playing era-appropriate instruments, ranging from a beautifully restored 1920s drum set to saxophonist, cornets, banjos and more! Each member meticulously studied techniques and solos from recordings of the 1920s and 1930s.

This will be the groups first time collaborating with Jazz St. Louis. Eager to present a diverse selection of music from the 1920s, including both familiar and obscure tunes, they plan to shine a spotlight on St. Louis’ musical history, featuring compositions originally written and performed mere steps away from Jazz St. Louis’ stage from a century ago.
