Snug Harbor Jazz Bistro

7:30 pm

7:30 & 9:30PM

Jason Marsalis is the youngest son of late, great piano patriarch and jazz luminary Ellis Marsalis Jr.  Upon the presentation of their NEA Jazz Masters Award in 2011, The Marsalises were declared "America's First Family of Jazz."  In addition to his renown as a drummer, Jason is also a respected vibraphonist whose 2018 release "Melody Reimagined'' with his 21st Century Trad Band rose swiftly to the top of the Billboard Jazz Chart. With a fire in his heart and a passion for the music, his will to swing has never been more resolute. The maturity and the command Jason possesses over his music is clearly evident to those who have heard and seen him.

Tonight, Jason and his trio present the latest of his eclectic series, a tribute of sorts to the late visionary songwriter Brian Wilson and his band The Beach Boys, featuring Jason's interpretations and arrangements of Wilson's acclaimed "California Sound."

A testament to Jason's unrelenting drive to examine, explore, and play with all forms of music through the lens of jazz.

Rebirth Brass Band

Jul 28, 2026

The Rabbit Hole

10:00 pm

10PM

For nearly four decades, The Rebirth Brass Band has redefined what it means to bring the vibrant spirit of New Orleans music to the world. Founded in 1983 by brothers Phil and Keith Frazier along with their friend Kermit Ruffins straight out of playing together in Tremé's Joseph Clark High School marching band, they revolutionized the traditional brass band sound by blending heavy second-line rhythms with funk, soul, R&B, and hip-hop.

The band quickly became a sensation, blending the traditional brass sounds of the Big Easy with modern funk, jazz, soul, and hip-hop influences. What began as a group of high school musicians performing on the streets of New Orleans has now evolved into a world-renowned musical force.

From their earliest gigs at the now-legendary Maple Leaf Bar to Grammy Award-winning recordings, The Rebirth Brass Band continues to push the boundaries of brass music. In 2012, the band received the Grammy Award for Best Regional Roots Music Album for "Rebirth of New Orleans," solidifying their place as both guardians of tradition and pioneers of innovation. Since then they have collaborated with major acts like the Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Roots, Green Day, and a slew of star hip-hop MCs.

Their sound is a seamless blend of second-line rhythms and energetic brass arrangements that resonate with audiences young and old. Whether performing at Mardi Gras parades, festivals like Jazz Fest, or on international stages, The Rebirth Brass Band brings an unmatched energy that compels every listener to dance.

Yet, band’s influence extends beyond their music. They’ve been featured in HBO’s hit series Tremé, highlighting their critical role in the cultural fabric of New Orleans. Despite international fame, The Rebirth Brass Band remains deeply rooted in their hometown, continuing to perform weekly at the Maple Leaf Bar, a testament to their commitment to the local community and their musical origins.With a lineup that has evolved over the years, including collaborations with legendary musicians, The Rebirth Brass Band maintains its signature infectious energy. Their music honors the heritage of New Orleans while fearlessly embracing new sounds, making them a bridge between past and present in the world of brass band music.

Experience Rebirth's hometown Tuesday night residency at this new Central City neighborhood music venue, a continuation of their famed weekly they held for years formerly at uptown's Maple Leaf Bar.

Victor Campbell (solo piano)

Jul 6, 2026

Mahogany Jazz Hall
 →

11:00 am

5:00PM

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.

Big 6 Brass Band

Jul 5, 2026

Celebration Hall
 →

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 at Celebration Hall next to the historic Autocrat Social Aid & Pleasure Club for their Sunday night residency, squarely in the 7th Ward.

9PM

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.

Sets at 9:00pm & 10:45pm

6:00 pm

6PM

Byron Asher is a saxophonist, clarinetist and composer based in New Orleans and working at the intersection of broadly experimental composition and jazz and improvised music.

Since arriving there in 2011, he has become an integral member of New Orleans’ creative music community as a bandleader, collaborator, improviser, composer, and curator. His practice is dedicated to exploring new sounds across genre, and he is committed to building community through assembling and participating in ensembles that bring together musicians from a diversity of training and aesthetic backgrounds.

Raised in Maryland, he has performed across Europe and the US at major art centers and festivals as well as at dive bars and DIY spaces. Festivals include the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival and French Quarter Festival, the Montreux Jazz Festival, Switzerland, Jazz a Vienne, France, and the Karlovy Vary Jazz Festival, Czech Republic. He has also played shows and festivals in Germany, Poland, and Slovakia and has had his compositions featured at the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC.

He was a 2022 OneBeat Fellow, a program of the US State Department, for which he was an artist in residence at the Atlantic Center for the Arts (Florida). As a composer, Byron has held residencies at MacDowell (New Hampshire), A Studio In The Woods (New Orleans) and Barn Arts (Maine). His work has been funded by the Doris Duke Foundation, the Foundation for Contemporary Arts (NYC), South Arts (Atlanta), the Jazz And Heritage Foundation (NOLA), the Threadhead Cultural Foundation (NOLA), and the Puffin Foundation (Teaneck, NJ).

Byron maintains an active performing and recording schedule in New Orleans and around the US as a leader and a sideman. His award-winning Skrontch Music large ensemble released its second recording, Lord, when you send the rain, on Sinking City Records in 2024. Their 2019 debut recording was named a top 20 jazz release of the year by textura.org. Byron’s “free jazz party band” Basher’s 2022 release Doubles received 4 stars from Downbeat Magazine and was called “unbearably beautiful” by Pitchfork. A new Basher recording, May Day, was released in May 2024. He has released three albums with his collaboratively led trio, Nutria. In 2021, his duo recording with drummer Brad Webb, Little Bigby, was nominated for Best Contemporary Jazz Recording by New Orleans’ Offbeat Magazine.

Byron is also adjunct music faculty at the University of New Orleans, where he teaches classes and ensembles for undergraduate and graduate students.

For his rolling residency at Bacchanal on Monday evenings, Byron invites a rotating cast of collaborators and local musicians each week, ranging from intimate duo performances to some of his larger ensembles.

Big 6 Brass Band

Jun 28, 2026

Celebration Hall
 →

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 at Celebration Hall next to the historic Autocrat Social Aid & Pleasure Club for their Sunday night residency, squarely in the 7th Ward.

Roderick Paulin & The Swingsters

Jun 28, 2026

Mahogany Jazz Hall
 →

8:00 pm

8PM

If the name Paulin sounds familiar, there’s a reason for that – Roderick is the son of legendary New Orleans bandleader Ernest “Doc” Paulin who led brass bands on the streets of New Orleans for over 70 years. Doc insisted that musicians in his bands adhere to certain professional standards on and off stage. Many young players began their music career by performing with Doc Paulin and have gone on to achieve musical prominence such as clarinetist Dr. Michael White, Alto saxophonist Donald Harrison, Jr. and trumpeter Gregg Stafford among scores of local New Orleans musicians.

Simply put, Roderick Paulin is one of the most soulful, versatile and accomplished saxophonists in New Orleans. Roderick’s musical career spans over four decades collaborating with artists such as John Legend, Harry Connick Jr, Aaron Neville, Allen Toussaint, Maceo Parker, Fred Wesley, Christian McBride, Trombone ‘Shorty’ Andrews, Wynton Marsalis, The Grateful Dead, PJ Morton, The Brand New Heavies, The Afghan Whigs, Branford Marsalis, and the ReBirth Brass Band.

Paulin’s experience as an arranger, producer, saxophonist/clarinetist continues to serve him well as he’s a highly sought after clinician/master class educator teaching the fundamentals of music and economic empowerment to students of all ages and demographics. For the last 10 years, Paulin has served on the faculty of the Louis Armstrong Summer Jazz Camp of New Orleans which is the longest running, minority-owned and operated music organization that serves public and private school students of New Orleans and surrounding communities.

Tonight, he leads his Mahogany Jazz Hall Swingsters for his Sunday night residency.

Preservation Legacy Band feat. Will Smith

Jun 28, 2026

Preservation Hall
 →

5:00 pm

5:00 - 8:45PM

Will Smith grew up in Preservation Hall, where his sister Dodie Smith-Simmons worked and his brother-in-law trumpeter John “Kid” Simmons sometimes played. Smith used to help push Sweet Emma’s wheelchair to the car when her son came to pick her up, and most of the time she said something mean. “She was a real cantankerous old broad, but she was a great entertainer who captivated the audience,” Smith recalled. After following around his brother-in-law, Smith could not wait to get an instrument of his own. His parents eventually bought him a trumpet, and he has been playing New Orleans jazz ever since.

Hall legends Percy Humphrey, Ernie Cagnolatti, Kid Thomas, and DeDe Pierce remain a part of Smith’s musical fiber and have greatly influenced his sound. In 1975 Smith joined the Fairview Baptist Church Band, led by legendary jazzman Danny Barker, and he has played and toured with numerous traditional brass bands, including the Storyville Stompers and Harold Dejan’s Olympia Brass Band, as well as the Doc Paulin, Chosen Few, Treme, Tornado, Lil’ Rascals, and Pinstripe brass bands.

Tonight, Will leads the Preservation Legacy Band for his Sunday night residency at Preservation Hall.

Charlie & The Tropicales rejuvenate a wide swath of vintage Caribbean sounds, from cumbia, calypso, biguine and son Cubano to rocksteady and New Orleans R&B-inspired rock & roll. Led by trombonist and composer Charlie Halloran, The Tropicales breathe new life into 1950s-era tropical dance pop tunes while introducing new layers of fusion. Think:  “Ruler of My Heart,” rocksteady-style, or Venezuela’s classic joropo “Alma Llanera” spiked with calypso energy.

The New Orleans-based 8-piece ensemble draws inspiration from Cuban son, mambo, and Caribbean music, reimagining traditional forms while honoring their roots, featuring rich horn lines, infectious percussion, and soulful improvisation. Known for high-energy performances and deep rhythmic feel, The Tropicales have become a standout presence in the New Orleans music scene, bringing tropical flavor and modern jazz sensibility to audiences near and far.

Tonight, they are joined on this double-bill with local singer-songwriter siren, Sarah Quintana.
