day 3: friday, October 7
the epicenter of jazz “Every time I close my eyes blowing that trumpet of mine – I
look right in the heart of good old New Orleans... It has given me something to live for.” The words of New Orleans native and jazz giant Louis Armstrong. Although he hit it big in Chicago in the 1920s and later became a legend throughout the world, “Satchmo” cut his teeth right here in the French Quarter – an iconic place that will be forever identified as the capital of jazz.
You’ll encounter jazz at every turn of your journey through the French Quarter today – from a special tour with Louisiana State Museum Music Historian Charles Chamberlain at the historic Cabildo... to a private performance at one of the great shrines of traditional jazz, Preservation Hall... to a jazz brunch at the Court of Two Sisters. And tonight’s gala evening at the New Orleans Center for Creative Arts features a Keynote Address by Ken Burns, an open house with New Orleans cuisine (with a chance to visit with Ken), and a performance by pianist Ellis Marsalis, patriarch of the “First free time today in the city for live music, cafés, restaurants and
watching by Travel +
Family of Jazz!” Plus rated #1 in the U.S. antique shops, people- Leisure.
