'Nickel-a-dance' Jazz soirees kick off Sunday at Maison
The 16th annual Nickel a Dance series kicks off on Sunday at Maison on Frenchmen Street.
The first, featuring Wendell Brunious' Creole Kings, is dedicated to the memory of Juanita Brooks, jazz and gospel singer; Lou Dendinger, jazz supporter and dancer; and Ralph Johnson, a Preservation Hall musician.
Coming up next: Detroit Brooks' Syncopated Percolators on March 14; New Leviathan Oriental Fox Trot Orchestra on March 21; and Lionel Ferbos & The Palm Court Jazz Band on March 28.
Maison is at 508 Frenchmen St. The free, family friendly shows are from 4 to 7 p.m. Call 504.947.6155.
Wow wow! What an amazing show this past Sunday! Wendell Brunious on trumpet, Dr. Michael White on clarinet, Freddie Lonzo on trombone, George French on guitar and vocals, Gerald French on drums, David Torkanowsky on piano.... oh man, it was amazing! If you missed this past week at Nickel-a-Dance, don't miss the next one. Detroit Brooks is bringing Dr. Michael White back to play with him, (and I hope they'll do some Danny Barker tributing...) But no matter what, the show is sure to be great.
Hope to see y'all out!
