New Orleans Jazz Club

THE SECOND LINE MAGAZINE
Since 1949

The Second Line is the Official Organ of the New Orleans Jazz Club since 1949.  The publication has reported on traditional jazz from all corners of the world.  The Second line is historical, accurate, interesting and contemporary.  

The Second Line has several definitions.  Basically, it's the people that follow the brass bands on the street.  These Second-Liners also have a special step, shuffle or dance they do when following the band.  This is called "Second Lining."

There is no subscription to this magazine; it is given as a bonus to the members of the club only.  If you are interested in joining the NOJC, click here.
