  • This is FRESH AIR.

  • I'm Terry Gross.

  • We have a great, entertaining show for you as you head into the holiday weekend.

  • Trumpeter John Eric Kelso and guitarist Matt Munisteri are going to play and talk about the music they make in their band, the ear regulars.

  • That's e a r regulars.

  • They perform jazz, mostly from the twenties through the forties, and they have a new live album.

  • They spoke with fresh air producer Sam Brigger.

  • Here's Sam.

  • Sunday nights, I find myself feeling jealous of New Yorkers.

  • That's because every Sunday night at a small old bar in the West Village called the Ear Inn, you can hear some really amazing music, vibrant and vital jazz, even though some of the repertoire is 100 years old.

  • The band the Irregulars was founded by our guests John Eric Kelso and Matt Munesteri and is led by Kelso.

  • The band is usually a four piece combo with friends sitting in.

  • They set up in the corner of the Ear Inn and pass the hat at the set break, which is kind of remarkable considering that these are some of the best jazz musicians around.
