The Village Stompers were a Dixieland jazz outfit in the early 1960's when they formed in New York City's Greenwich Village.
They gained attention in early 1963 with their instrumental hit single, 'Washington Square'.
Personnel:
Ralph Casale (banjo)
Frank Hubbell (trumpet)
Dick Brady (trombone)
Joe Muranyi (clarinet)
Mitchell May (reeds, winds)
Lenny Pogan (guitar)

Their sound and 'good-time' presentation was soon embraced by the college campus / folk-'Hootenanny' crowd, and they did much touring before disbanding sometime in 1966.
