From Chicago
Music for your head and your heart
We write cool music!

We do crazy covers!
We love taking cool songs, and doing them our way. Dig our version of Cut Copy’s Stars Last Me a Lifetime mangled and rearranged by Neil Carson, our altoist.
More About Us
New Nostalgia is a Chicago-based fusion horn band, blending jazz, pop and rock flavors together in hard-hitting instrumental ensemble arrangements. Led by saxophonist and composer/ arranger Neil Carson, New Nostalgia straddles genre lines with intricate arranging and improvisation, singable melodies, and unstoppable rock energy.
“[P]ower-polychord instrumental rock at its finest...toying thoughtfully with form, deconstructing and reconstructing melody lines...[and] soloing with soul-stirring exuberance.”
— ED ENRIGHT, DOWNBEAT (JANUARY 2020)
