Tonight, Tuesday, March 9, 2010, The guitarist/harmonica player/accordionist for the Iguanas will be substituting for “Jumpin” Johnny Sansone at Chickie Wah Wah. Sansone is off on another Blues Cruise, so Hodges (pictured- second from left) will join regulars Anders Osborne and John Fohl. The music starts at 8 PM. The three players will alternate songs while accompanying each other.
This evening, March 5, 2010 the cellist will present a concert and live recording of her new trio project featuring Tim Green on tenor saxophone and Conn-O-Sax and Doug Garrison on drums. The studio is located at Piety and Dauphine in the Bywater. The start time is 9 PM and they are asking a mere $10 to be part of history. Not only will your presence contribute to the creation of the music, it will be a great help for the funding of this worthy project. Helen has created a wonderful video and project description on her Kickstarter page <http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/helengillet/running-of-the-bells-improvised-cello-led-recordi-0> Please take a look, and if possible, become of a patron of the arts (no donation too small!)
This evening, March 4, 2010, from 7:30 PM - 9:00 PM two of city’s finest saxophonists will face off on baritones. Loyola jazz professor and Astral Project founder Tony Dagradi (pictured) and Roger Lewis (Dirty Dozen Brass Band, Tremé Brass Band) will be joined by Johnny Vidacovich on drums and Jesse Boyd on string bass. The concert is in Satchmo’s Jazz Café, located on the lower level of Loyola’s Danna Student Center. Tickets for “Baritone Madness” are $10 general admission and $5 for Loyola employees and non-Loyola students. Tickets are available online at www.montage.loyno.edu or at the door Thursday night. Loyola students are admitted free.
One of the major bonuses associated with the Thelonious Monk Institute of Jazz moving to New Orleans is the low-key presence of some of the most interesting players in the world of jazz. They come to the institute’s home at Loyola University to teach master classes and otherwise impact the students in the program. They also occasionally play gigs that are open to the public. Since he burst on the New York scene as a college student at the Manhattan School of Music, the pianist Jason Moran has been turning heads with his singular approach. Tonight, March 4, 2010, he appears with one of New Orleans’ masters, the drummer Herlin Riley at Snug Harbor.
Cristian Duque plays lead and rhythm guitar in a style all his own. But if you listen closely, you will occasionally hear hints at his long tenure working with Walter “Wolfman” Washington. The affable musician spent many months understudying with the great blues and soul artist. He played big gigs, like the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, and smaller stages including the Maple Leaf Bar. Duque leads the Soul Project, a band that he founded before Hurricane Katrina displaced him. He’s back in New Orleans now and the band plays tonight, March 2, 2010 at the Balcony Music Club on the corner of Esplanade and Decatur Streets in the French Quarter.
