COMPERSION QUARTET feat. Skerik, James Singleton, Brian Haas, Simon Lott

Nov 9, 2026

The Broadside
 →

8:00 pm

8PM - 10PM

Seattle’s beloved subterranean music iconoclast Skerik has long found the city of New Orleans a balm for his inherently subversive musical instincts. Currently calling the Crescent City his second home, the saxophonist fully embraces this dichotomy between the profane and ritualistic with Compersion Quartet, for which he’s joined by pianist Brian Haas, bassist James Singleton and drummer Simon Lott. Recorded in New Orleans, the quartet’s debut collects a series of studio improvisations that are amalgamated in fits and starts of cinematic beauty, syncopated melodism and mystic sonic experimentalism.

Compersion Quartet is in many ways an outgrowth of Saucefest, the multimedia festival within a festival—founded and curated by Skerik—that happens annually on the middle Tuesday night of New Orleans Jazzfest when a disparate gathering of local and traveling musicians come together in various configurations for an evening of fearless, no-holds-barred musical collaboration.

“The history between the four of us goes way back, but this specific quartet would eventually come together through Saucefest,” explains Skerik. “I met Brian Haas in the early years of his trio Jacob Jazz Odyssey after he heard me with Critters Buggin. I used to play with Simon Lott in Malestrom Trio along with Brian "BC" Coogan. They were both part of the early Saucefest events. I started playing with James Singleton on Johnny Vidacovich gigs and in other combinations. He also did some early Saucefest performances. We share a related collective history. We all are from the same mother of music, siblings without rivalry.”

Throughout the album’s 11 tracks, Compersion Quartet explores deconstruction and rebirth, while undermining the math of music through the enigmatic human vibrations intrinsic to improvisation. Like the green lizard adorning the album’s cover art, just when the listener thinks they’ve captured the essence, its tail detaches and it escapes back into the unknown.

“To us, Compersion Quartet means to support each other and everyone on earth. Let’s leave it at that. I want there to be more mystery and less analytical talk about this music,” concludes Skerik. “There’s really no point in trying to describe the indescribable.”

In 2000, he was commissioned by Juilliard's Dance Division to compose a musical work in celebration of their 50th Anniversary.

In recent years, he was selected to lead music and jazz departments at Juilliard NYC and Northwestern University in Chicago, and served as executive artistic director of Jazz St. Louis from 2022 - 2026.

The Soul Rebels

10:00 pm

10PM

The Soul Rebels are an eight-piece New Orleans brass band known for mashing up traditional jazz and marching band roots with funk, hip-hop, soul, and rock. Founded in 1991 by percussionists Lumar LeBlanc and Derrick Moss, they have become a globally touring phenomenon.

Originating from the Young Olympia Brass Band, the members decided to break away to incorporate contemporary radio hits and hip-hop into their arrangements. Performing at the iconic Uptown New Orleans club Tipitina's in 1991, Cyril Neville suggested they name their group after the Bob Marley song "Soul Rebels," cementing their new progressive direction.

The collective has since become renowned for crossing genres and performing with massive stars. They have collaborated with hip-hop and pop legends including Nas, Katy Perry, Metallica, GZA (Wu-Tang Clan), G-Eazy, and DMX. Their energetic sound has also made them a staple in film and television, scoring original music for Disney's 2023 movie Haunted Mansion and appearing on the soundtrack for Girls Trip. They have also appeared on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and NPR's Tiny Desk.

Among several other hits, their song "Let Your Mind Be Free" remains one of the most popular New Orleans brass band staples to-date.

Catch them tonight at their monthly Frenchmen Street residency - one of only two rare opportunities these days to experience The Rebels live in a tony intimate room, the size of the ones they started out in over 30+ years ago.

9PM - 12AM

Anaïs St. John is a renowned New Orleans-based jazz, blues, and cabaret vocalist. Known for her sultry stage presence, the Creole songstress and daughter of jazz saxophonist Marion Brown seamlessly blends her classical operatic background with classic cabaret flair.

She holds a bachelor’s degree in Music from Xavier University, a master’s degree in Vocal Performance from the University of New Orleans, and has attended the prestigious Cabaret Conference at Yale University in 2004 and 2007. Her commanding performances have been a staple at prominent New Orleans venues such as the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival (Jazz Fest), French Quarter Fest, the Jazz Playhouse at the Royal Sonesta Hotel, and Le Chat Noir. She also held longtime residencies at some of the city's swankiest hotel lounges, such as the Polo Club at the Windsor Court Hotel, The Ritz-Carleton, and The Bombay Club.

However, perhaps most popularly, St. John is famous for crafting one-woman cabaret tribute shows honoring legendary icons like Donna Summer (her "Last Dance" show), Eartha Kitt, Josephine Baker, and Lola Falana. Her sultry, classic style has taken her to European stages, including the Umbria Winter Jazz Festival in Italy and Jazz Ascona in Switzerland.

Beyond her vibrant nightlife and festival schedule, St. John is a dedicated educator. Since 2006, she has taught music at Trinity Episcopal School in New Orleans, inspiring the next generation while maintaining her active performing career.

She also held longtime residencies at some of the city's swankiest hotel lounges, such as the Polo Club at the Windsor Court Hotel, The Ritz-Carleton, and The Bombay Club.

However, perhaps most popularly, St. John is famous for crafting one-woman cabaret tribute shows honoring legendary icons like Donna Summer (her "Last Dance" show), Eartha Kitt, Josephine Baker, and Lola Falana. Her sultry, classic style has taken her to European stages, including the Umbria Winter Jazz Festival in Italy and Jazz Ascona in Switzerland.

Beyond her vibrant nightlife and festival schedule, St. John is a dedicated educator. Since 2006, she has taught music at Trinity Episcopal School in New Orleans, inspiring the next generation while maintaining her active performing career.

Big 6 Brass Band

Nov 27, 2026

Candlelight Lounge
 →

9:00 pm

9PM

On the streets of New Orleans, where brass bands play every Sunday for weekly second line parades, it’s not unusual for one brass band to catch the ear of the streets and dominate the second line season. Not long after their founding in 2017, the Big 6 Brass Band had the streets on lock. Their mixtape, which has made the rounds in the second line community, features covers of songs by Michael Jackson, Fantasia, and SZA, among others. Unsatisfied with playing only “radio tunes,” their song catalog runs deep into brass band history as they breathe new life into time-honored traditional tunes like “Red Dress” and “Lilly of the Valley.” Their debut album, Big Six, was released on June 24, 2019 on all streaming platforms. A thirteen-song tour through their original music, it’s an instant classic including hits like “Go Down,” and “On the Run.”

The band’s all-star lineup is comprised of some of the most talented young brass band musicians in the city. Though the band is relatively young, their pedigree reveals a wealth of experience as their roster includes current and former members of Rebirth, The Stooges, Hot 8, TBC, and Da Truth brass bands. Though their music maintains ties to the tradition from which they come, they are very much the vanguard of the brass band scene. Their sound, which combines smooth R&B with the rough and ready sound of the streets, is, more than any other band, representative of the sound of contemporary New Orleans brass band music.

Catch them tonight on their home turf for their Friday night residency, squarely in the 6th Ward, in the heart of Tremé at Ms. Chinee's Candlelight Lounge neighborhood corner bar, nestled right next to Tuba Fats Square.

Cash or CashApp at the door.

Victor Campbell (solo piano)

Nov 23, 2026

Mahogany Jazz Hall

6:00 pm

6PM

2026 JGI Jazz Cohort Fellow, Victor Campbell is a young jazz piano player hailing from Camagüey, Cuba. His compelling style combines virtuosity, whimsy, charisma and technical prowess. Notably, it is just plain fun to watch Victor perform. He started playing piano at age 5 and went on to train at Cuba’s National School of the Arts. He has since played all over the United States, and internationally. Victor first visited New Orleans in 2012 as a teenager, part of an exchange program with the Louis Armstrong Summer Jazz Camp. That visit changed his life and in 2019 Victor decided to move to New Orleans. He has been feverishly studying all styles of New Orleans music ever since, and incorporating it into his own musical language. He can effortlessly transition from a blues solo, to a Cuban timba montuno, and then right into a classical piano selection. In a 2019 interview, the great Chucho Valdés predicted that, “Victor will revolutionize Cuban jazz piano.”

After performing as a featured new artist at several CubaNOLA showcases, Victor now has several New Orleans-based bands and collaborations, including his high-energy big band Timba Swamp, and is a fervent leader of the city’s growing Cuba-New Orleans fusion renaissance scene, which also includes collaborations with the Cuban funk phenomenon, Cimafunk, and New Orleans legends like Delfeayo Marsalis’ Uptown Jazz Orchestra. Most recently, he was recruited by renowned musical director Raphael Saadiq to play piano on the Oscar-nominated soundtrack for 2025’s Academy Award-winning film by director Ryan Coogler, "SINNERS.”

This evening, Victor performs one of his acclaimed solo piano shows.

8PM - 11PM

Trumpeter, vocalist, and bandleader Aurélien Barnes represents a new generation of New Orleans musicians carrying the city's brass and jazz traditions forward while expanding their reach. The son of Bruce "Sunpie" Barnes, he grew up immersed in blues, zydeco, and Afro-Caribbean music, an upbringing that shaped both his versatility and his instinct for cross-cultural musical conversation.

Mentored from an early age by some of the city's most respected voices, including Leroy Jones, Gregg Stafford, and the Tremé Brass Band, Barnes has performed as a featured artist with the Preservation Hall All Stars, and has gone on to work with Grammy-nominated ensembles Cha Wa and The Rumble, as well as the Palmetto Bug Stompers and Kings of Brass. His collaborations span a wide range of artists and genres, including Nicholas Payton, Solange, Dr. John, and Carlos Vives.

A Tulane University graduate fluent in French, Spanish, and Portuguese, Barnes brings an international perspective to a distinctly New Orleans sound, rooted in tradition, open to the world.

Tonight, he leads his own band. Sets at 8:00pm & 9:45pm.

D.V.S. brings together three titans of New Orleans music: vibraphonist and percussionist Mike Dillon, drummer Johnny Vidacovich, and bassist James Singleton. Widely considered one of New Orleans' greatest rhythm sections, Vidacovich and Singleton have been the backbone of Astral Project since its inception. Dillon, a genre-defying percussionist known for his work in Garage a Trois and The Dead Kenny G's, has spent over two decades sharing stages with the pair. The trio released their debut album, Bones, in 2013, and their rare reunions remain among the most anticipated shows in the city's creative music scene.

8:00 pm

8PM - 11PM

Prolific across a wide swath of sonic topography, Detroit-raised, New Orleans-based musician Ari Teitel keeps many hot irons in his creative fire. A soulful expressionist, Ari’s guitar styles incorporate foundational influences R&B, funk, gospel, jazz, hip-hop, blues, and psychedelic rock, a greasy gumbo that coalesces with many multi-hued endeavors. A co-founder of premiere Mardi Gras Indian Funk band The Rumble feat. Chief Joseph Boudreaux, they released debut studio LP Stories From the Battlefield in 2024, and were swiftly GRAMMY nominated for the second straight year. The versatile 30-year old guitarist was recently drafted into Dumpstaphunk, the mighty Crescent City institution founded by Ivan Neville, a NOLA icon with whom Teitel has performed extensively. In May 2025, Teitel released an LP  titled Another Side of The Sound with drummer Adam Deitch (Lettuce, John Scofield) and organ master Sam Fribush (Hiss Golden Messenger) to wide acclaim.   Tonight marks the release of his new album honest."

Sari Jordan (they/them) is a force of sweetness and warmth, packing a punch in their unique style and bold expression. A student of the New Orleans music scene, Sari's interpretations shine in their playfulness and freedom. A prolific songwriter, they perform original material in their band as well as new interpretations with local greats.

11PM

The Soul Rebels are an eight-piece New Orleans brass band known for mashing up traditional jazz and marching band roots with funk, hip-hop, soul, and rock. Founded in 1991 by percussionists Lumar LeBlanc and Derrick Moss, they have become a globally touring phenomenon.

Originating from the Young Olympia Brass Band, the members decided to break away to incorporate contemporary radio hits and hip-hop into their arrangements. Performing at the iconic Uptown New Orleans club Tipitina's in 1991, Cyril Neville suggested they name their group after the Bob Marley song "Soul Rebels," cementing their new progressive direction.

The collective has since become renowned for crossing genres and performing with massive stars. They have collaborated with hip-hop and pop legends including Nas, Katy Perry, Metallica, GZA (Wu-Tang Clan), G-Eazy, and DMX. Their energetic sound has also made them a staple in film and television, scoring original music for Disney's 2023 movie Haunted Mansion and appearing on the soundtrack for Girls Trip. They have also appeared on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and NPR's Tiny Desk.

Among several other hits, their song "Let Your Mind Be Free" remains one of the most popular New Orleans brass band staples to-date.

Catch them tonight at their long, long-running (used to be) weekly Uptown residency - one of only three rare opportunities these days to experience The Rebels live in a small room, the size of the ones they started out in over 30+ years ago.

Two Sets at 11pm & 12:45am

Victoria Doutón is a composer and multi-instrumentalist from Montevideo, Uruguay. She studied classical flute at the National Conservatory of Music in Montevideo as well as the Montevideo University School of Music. She spent time in different countries like Venezuela, Ecuador, Argentina, Chile, Colombia, and Brazil. After a few years in Rio de Janeiro, she went to the USA. She lived in Austin, TX for a little while since she started collaborating with world-renowned international musicians. After a few months, she made her way to New Orleans to be fully immersed in the rich musical culture that is the foundation of American music. She’s been in New Orleans since 2021 and is currently recording her first album. Her travels inspired her to write music that blends Afro-South American rhythms and contemporary jazz. In addition to flute, she also plays guitar and percussion.

Tonight, she presents one of her solo guitar and loops sets.
