It's a great band, and its founder and leader, Orange Kellin (clarinet) was
a co-founder of the New Orleans Ragtime Orchestra.

IMO, the MRO is one of the finest groups working today.  Their CD on Stomp
Off (I confess I wrote the notes) is stunning.  I haven't heard them live
yet, but if anybody gets the chance, it's a must.
