LIONEL FERBOS & HIS LOUISIANA SHAKERS
http://www.myspace.com/lionelferbos
Lionel Ferbos was born in New Orleans in 1911 to a Creole family of
sheet metal workers. The oldest still active New Orleans jazz
musician, he played in the “Mighty Four” band with Harold Dejan,
leader of the Olympian Brass Band. In the jazz revival he joined the
New Orleans Ragtime Orchestra and played in the “One Mo’ Time” show.
He then became a regular at the Palm Court Jazz Cafe, where he
continues to play weekly. This six piece band will keep you swinging
from 9p.m. until 1a.m. at Michaul’s, 840 St Charles, in the CBD
between St Joseph and Julia. Local DJs will fill in the band breaks.
THE LOOSE MARBLES

The Loose Marbles is a sort of amalgamated Jazz corporation. They
have developed quite a name for themselves amongst swing dancers,
playing at events and festivals around the country. This six piece
band will keep you dancing with jazz and blues from 1p.m. until 5a.m.
at Michaul’s, 840 St Charles, in the CBD between St Joseph and Julia.
Local DJs will fill in the band breaks.
SHANNON POWELL’S ALL-STARS
http://www.preservationhall.com/band/roster/shannon_powell.aspx
Born in New Orleans, LA, Shannon Powell has played with Harry Connick
Jr., Diana Krall, the Preservation Hall Jazz Band, Leroy Jones, Johnny
Adams, Tommy Ridgely, Irvin Mayfield, and currently leads the
Preservation Hall-Stars every Tuesday night at Preservation Hall.
Shannon Powell, with his “Fats Waller-esque” energy, is one of the
most sought after drummers and percussionists in the world. His
powerful technique is steeped in the funky drum beats that emanate
from the streets of New Orleans. This five piece band will keep you
swinging from 9p.m. until 1a.m. in the Legend Room of the Wax Museum,
917 Rue Conti, in the French Quarter between Dauphine and Burgundy.
Tom Saunders will spin 78 RPM records for the band breaks.
TUBA SKINNY
http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=125794481655
Tuba Skinny plays Traditional Jazz and Old Blues songs. It is a joy to
witness these youngsters spreading the word about New Orleans music.
“The band is no doubt a team, a team of friends who create not only a
music of a by gone era, but also a very individual sound.” (Peter
Loggins) Their new album “Six Feet Down” should be a part of your
music collection. This six piece band will give you swing and blues
from 1a.m. to 5a.m. at One Eyed Jacks, 615 Toulouse Street, in the
French Quarter between Royal and Chartres.
COTTON MOUTH KINGS
http://www.neworleanscottonmouthkings.com
“The self titled CD ‘the New Orleans Cotton Mouth Kings’ has been a
couple weeks now, and for many reasons I continue listening to it, if
not for pure pleasure, then to take notes on the concept of this
amazing band. The style of music alone is something to ponder, taste,
digest, and yes, relish in the after taste. I’ve heard members claim
the style as being ‘New Orleans Swing’, a description which I have
thought a lot about, drawing the only possible conclusion…I couldn’t
agree more!” (Peter Loggins) This six piece band will keep you
swinging from 10p.m. to 2a.m. at the Maison, 508 Frenchmen Street.
