Bring your dancing shoes!

Free at Mimi's!!

New Orleans Moonshiners at Fringe Fest Tent this Saturday Nov 15th at 11pm. Corner of Press and Marigny in the Marigny. Free.

What started as a banjoist and a trombonist roaming around New Orleans, playing on the street, sitting in at clubs, and going wherever they could go to play jazz, has transformed into a collaboration of several dedicated young musicians with one goal in mind: carrying on the tradition of New Orleans style traditional jazz. With a median age of 27, the New Orleans Moonshiners represent the next generation of New Orleans jazz men and women. With a vision and a sound uniquely their own, their repertoire includes traditional spirituals, Tin Pan Alley, swing, and hot jazz from the 20’s.

The Courtyard Kings bring to Frenchmen Street their modern approach to gypsy swing popularized by Django Reinhardt in the 1930's. They perform at Yuki Izakaya, the Japan-inspired bar and restaurant next to Café Brasil. The bar is an intimate space, however, the bandstand is visible and audible at the front door, so dancing on the sidewalk is welcome.

The Courtyard Kings perform as a violin and guitar duo in the funky eclectic atmosphere at Mat and Naddie's Restaurant. Enjoy casual fine dining, or come in for a drink to hear the music. The Courtyard Kings bring a modern approach to the gypsy swing sound popularized by Django Reinhardt in the 1930's.

RECORD RELEASE PARTY
DOS JEFES UPTOWN CIGAR BAR
5535 Tchoupitoulas St.
The Courtyard Kings celebrate their new record, which brings a modern approach to the gypsy swing sound popularized by Django Reinhardt in the 1930's. The Courtyard Kings will play as a quartet, featuring guitarist Matt Johnson (Linnzi Zaorski, Hot Club of New Orleans) with Mike Harvey on violin, Carl Keith on guitar and Greg Smith on bass. The CD will be available at an introductory price of $10.

The film is an intimate portrait of the “Jezebel of Jazz”, the maverick jazz vocalist Anita O’Day, a self-professed "song-stylist" and rightly known as one of the greatest jazz divas of all time. Filmmakers Robbie Cavolina and Ian McCrudden have devoted four years in order to perfectly capture O’Day’s seven decade career.
