Celebrate the spirit of Mardi Gras with a night of hot, steamy New Orleans jazz! The good times roll with music from Big Easy natives like Fats Domino, Mahalia Jackson and Louis Armstrong. From street parades in the French Quarter to late night jams in the city’s famous clubs, this concert transforms into an unforgettable Fat Tuesday celebration as former Count Basie Orchestra soloist Byron Stripling leads the parade.
