Looking for more music in the vein of:

Firecracker Jazz Band
Preservation Hall Early Years stuff
Willie Smith

and anything with that pre-1930 N.O. feel to it...
I'm kind of at a loss as to where to go after Kid Ory, Jelly Roll Morton, King Oliver, etc.

Thanks everyone!

Check out Joseph Robichaux and His New Orleans Rhythm Boys.

some off the cuff ideas

eddie condon
bud freeman
firehouse five
bunk johnson
bobby hackett
armstrong: hot fives & sevens; all-stars
luis russell
henry red allen
johnny dodds
chris barber
jimmie noone
muggsy spanier

Pre-1930 'New Orleans' feel is quite specific I suppose (which pre-1930 bands came from New Orleans?). Not sure about the N.O. feel, but, besides those already mentioned you could also look at:

Fletcher Henderson (early stuff)
Tiny Parham
Duke Ellington (early stuff)
Jelly Roll Morton
Red Nichols

Fess Williams
Andy Kirk (early stuff)
Bennie Moten
Coon-Sanders

thanks guys.

yeah checked out fletcher h, duke, jelly roll, a little red nichols though i will look harder, andy kirk, moten, eddie condon rocks...

have to take a second look at some of the others.

turns out this is a pretty good list.

new on the list for me are:
fess williams
coon sanders
tiny parham
johnny dodds
chris barber
jimmie noone
joseph robichaux
