“David Ostwald’s Louis Armstrong Eternity Band, a bad rad trad aggregation, including tuba, trombone and banjo, evoked a century-old sound with a here today refreshing vivacity.”
— Nicolas Ostis, reporting on the 2021 Newport Jazz Festival
“...a hot little trad outfit with an easy and often amusing crowd rapport. ”
“There's no better place to be on Wednesdays at 5:30 in New York.”
“Ostwald and company gave us more than a dose of fun; they gave us something profound.”
“Tubaist David Ostwald’s fabulous early-swing band is about as good as it gets. Because they’ve also been known for their energetic treatment of Louis Armstrong’s repertoire, you know these cats like to entertain as much as they like to swing.”
