I've been hoping that Shorty would play soon here in Mobile, and sure enough he's booked for this event...

http://www.gcehjazzfest.com/events.htm

but I'll be in New Orleans that weekend for Satchmofest.

No biggie I guess, since I'll see them that Sunday at the Mint, and probably Friday at the Strut... just thought it was an odd coincidence...

[funkkjunkie]

I have that problem a lot, big dag. Last mardi gras, i'm in nola and dumpstaphunk is in LR. Last jazzfest, i'm in nola and govt mule is in LR.

[yehyourite]

All of the excitement about celebrating the King of Kings Birthday is getting me ready! Happy Birthday Pops! The impossible music choices are a lovely koan. I had one of my fave times in New Orleans last year at da Satch Fest. I had big plans last year to get all over town and do dis and dat. Besides a lovely evening at IBJ and HBJ's house meeting some great Threadheads followed by Kermit's at Vaughns I never made it past Decatur and St Philip one way and Dauphine and Esplanade the other way. There was just to much fun to be had at the Fest and Frenchmen. The Strut was incredible, up 'til 4 a.m. with the Soul Rebels Saturday night after their set at Fest which had everyone singing along and bawling with joy. More Rebels, Glenn David Andrews, and Corey Henry at dba Sunday night. Bob French on a Monday night at Ray's Room with the Jammin and Banzai families. Dragon Smoke does sound good though :).

[eat_mo_crawfish]

Heidi and I are driving in Thursday, driving out Tuesday. Gonna do the strut on Friday and Tip's on Saturday, figure out the rest when we're there (which means we'll end up on Frenchman Street, just can't get enough).

[McGregor]

this suggests that you don't put anything in it, the waitress does which could be problematic. We'll just have it check it ourselves.
Hookah Cafe is one of my favorite spots to hang out. Their hookah menu is very extensive full of different flavors, brands, and combination mixes. It's a great place to go to have a few drinks, smoke, and snack on some tapas. The ambiance is very trendy, yet also very chill and relaxing. Drinks are a bit pricey, but that doesn't really detract me from thoroughly enjoying myself and having a great time. It's the kind of place where you can be comfortable going to either as a couple or with a bigger group since the seating layout includes a bunch of couches and coffee tables. It's almost like smoking a hookah at home except you have the waiter doing all the dirty work!

dirty work? HA! That's my favorite part! :)

The Hookah Cafe has always sounded so intriguing to me....their tapas menu is fantastic too. I wouldn't mind checking it out but I gotta wait to see if Shorty's gonna play somewhere...my kid'll kill me if I don't take her....I'm already making her miss Big Sam for Dragon Smoke Sat. night....she'll love DS though....This is gonna be a typically exhausting weekend in New Orleans I see :)

Kermit at Vaugh's - I've seen him open his first set close to midnight.

[Corona]

That's what I though Leni......now what time should you be there for a decent spot? I'm thinking more for the kid....cuz she's tiny...

[Corona]

I think about 1030-1100, if I remember. He still does his bbq before the show too I think.
I hope you're right Gumbo.....that would be fun :)

Yeah like she would have a problem getting up front :D

[mightyradgumbo]

I hope you're right Gumbo.....that would be fun :)

Yeah I should have said it is scheduled to start at 1030-1100 but this being New Orleans that means midnight right? :D Still gotta find out if he is doing his bbq before the show, that man can cook.

There are many wonderful things about New Orleans, and her native music, jazz, is one of the best. Here we celebrate life and death with jazz. Whether it's a jazz brunch on Sunday, a jazz band in a street parade, or a jazz funeral on Friday, there's always jazz to be heard in New Orleans. No trip to New Orleans would be complete without a visit to one of the great jazz clubs around town. Here are some of my favorites.
1. Preservation Hall

Preservation Hall,located at 726 St. Peter St. in New Orleans' French Quarter, is probably the most well known of all the jazz clubs in the city. Here you can hear the traditional acoustic New Orleans jazz. Everything you are familiar with, like the second lines of Mardi Gras and the dirges of the jazz funerals are staples. One thing to know about Preservation Hall, there is no food nor drink. Just pure New Orleans jazz at its best.

2. Fritzel's

Fritzel's, located at 733 Bourbon Street, has the atmosphere of a neighborhood pub and is often frequented by local musicians. Here you can dance the second line to the jazz clarinet skillfully played by Ryan Burrage on weekends.
3. French Quarter Bar

This classy bar at the Ritz-Carlton on Canal Street is a great place to people watch since there are often reports of movie star sightings. Lately I've heard John Cusack, Britney Spears, Kate Hudson and Dustin Hoffman have been seen here. So, if you don't mind paying about $15.00 for a glass of wine, enjoy the elegant surroundings of the French Quarter Bar. And the music is pretty good too! Jeremy Davenport sings and plays the trumpet in great style.
4. Ray's over the River

Ray's Over the River is not only a great place to hear jazz, it's also a very romantic place. It's on the 31st floor of the World Trade Center (Yes New Orleans has one too.) Ray's offers fabulous views of the Mississippi River and city through it's glass walls. Irvin Mayfield, who has been officially designated a cultural ambassador for the city of New Orleans was brought in as a consulting partner. Gregory Davis of Dirty Dozen Brass Band fame, plays the trumpet in this upscale jazz joint.
5. Colbalt

Colbalt Restaurant & Bar in the Hotel Monacon at 333 St. Charles Avenue is in the middle of the Central Business District and is the favorite places for young execs to chill at the end of a work week at a jazz happy hour. On Fridays David Torkanowsky plays both jazz and New Orleans music on his piano. Colbalt is also a great restaurant and offers a good jazz brunch on Sunday.
6. Snug Harbor

At the down-river end of the French Quarter, you will find Fauburg Marigny, and Frenchmen Street in "the Marigny" as the locals call the area, is the place to be for good food and music. The oldest and still the best is Snug Harbor music hall on Frenchmen Street. (626 Frenchmen)Here Nicholas Payton grew up and Alan Toussaint made his jazz debut. The focus at Snug Harbor is modern jazz and it features local talent.
7. Sweet Lorraine's Jazz Club

Sweet Lorraine's is another great place for modern jazz. It's a short taxi ride to 1931 St. Claude Avenue, and it's worth it. Sweet Lorraine's was recently renovated thanks to a fire and is now has a classy art deco feel. Sweet Lorriane's features mostly local talent, but has some great successes in bringing in out-of-town greats like Gato Brbieri and David "Fathead" Newman.
8. Vaughan's

Vaughan's is a bar, pure and simple. It's as down-scale as you can get. But Vaughan's has great music six nights a week. Get there on Thursday to hear Kermit Ruffins and the Barbecue Swingers. Harry Connick, Jr. and Wynton Marsalis have shown up on Thursdays to sit in with Kermit, who is a New Orleans icon. Expect no frills and drink beer and you'll love it.
9. Donna's Bar & Grill

If you're into no frills, and you liked Vaughan's, try Donna's. Located at the edge of the French Quarter at 800 N. Rampart Street, Donna's hosts the Treme Brass Band on most Fridays, and usually on Monday's you can here Bob Fench, a local jazz drummer and singer.
10. The Jazz Parlon at Storyville
At 125 Bourbon Street, right off Canal, is the Jazz Parlor. On Mondays Tim Laughlin, a traditional jazz clarinetist plays.

[yehyourite]

I loves me my Kermit at Vaughn's....Timing on Kermit at Vaughn's is always tough...Getting a good spot is tough and easy......Sometimes he grills,sometimes he dosn't.....10:30 is probably a good time to get there.....If you go earlier, like 10, your shot at getting one of the seats near the bar and having a good view is better, presuming there isn't a big neighborhood crowd filling up the seats... but at Vaughns the good views appear and disappear...Like Jazz, Vaughn's on a Thursday night is definitely an improvising affair. Red Beans and Rice and DJ Smokes-A-Lot are the givens :) Speaking of Jazz, another great show that weekend is Saturday night at Snug. The ever cool Maurice Brown slips back into town blowing sweetly on his trumpet. He plays at da Fest too.

[Corona]

Thanks for the Vaughn's tips Willie....sounds great :)

Wow! Ray's on the River sounds really special!

hmmmmm......a seat near the bar sounds like it has my name on it! I wonder who I can pay off to go early & sit there for me..........or Lis, we can go early & be roaring drunk by the time Kermit goes on...... ;)

LMAO! Yeh if you can get the bar seats and then have someone hug the rail you can get some space working.....then of course if you hang outside instead you maybe get to chat up Kermit (especially if he is grillin') or watch him "prepare" in an automobile and then just follow him up to the "stage" and there you are right in front of the band but standing. Please leave room up front for the trombone.

[NOLA]

My Saturday Tips ticket was in the mail today. :)

Me too, but no ticket to the Strut, which I ordered at the same time. I don't know whether to be worried or not. Guess I'll give the mail a couple more chances and then start pestering TicketWeb...

[McGregor]

My Saturday Tips ticket was in the mail today. :)

I still can't get over the fact these tickets are $12, it's almost like stealing.

[funkkjunkie]

Just consider it a gift, mcgregor. ;) And NOLA, no worries. Our smoke tickets came in 2 daze but the strut tickets were the next week.

[NOLA]

Cool, thanks.

I'm lookin' forward to Strutin' and Smokin' with all the Threadheads! Just 2 more weeks, y'all!

[McGregor]

Just consider it a gift, mcgregor. ;)

Oh I do, believe me. I'd pay $30 to see it and not blink an eye.

For anyone that has seen Dragon Smoke (Swag?), do they do covers? lindell songs? their own stuff? Galactic? A mix? I'm going to have to show up to find out? :)

How many times has this band taken the stage together? Have they played together a good bit?

[Corona]

yup, been nailed by the trombone before....Dirty Dozen trombonist at the Big Apple to the Big Easy benefit after-party at Madison Square Garden...I think he was doing it on purpose though....kept trying to bounce it off my boobs! lmao! It was 4 a.m. and Buffet could barely stand up never mind dance.....Kermit was holding up the bar and Quint was drinking cognac right out of the bottle! Man that was a fun night :)

Sorry for the digression....okay....so I'm really excited for Vaughns now :)

[Corona]

Cool, thanks.

I think they were charging $30 for Dragon Smoke at the Blue Nile during fest. $25 the year before....$12 is just tooooo damn good!

For real, I can't remember the exact songs they played..I just remember these seriously long hard funk jams that went on and on....they took you all over the place....like being on a roller-coaster...it was just beautiful. The show went on for hours and musician after musician got on stage with them (it was during fest) and the jams went on....til 5 a.m. or so. I think it started around 11:00 that night....it was crazy shit and the BEST funk I've ever heard. Reports from San Fran were pretty similar....I don't think Dragon Smoke happens a lot.....maybe a few times a year? That's why it's so special :)

[McGregor]

Thanks Corona. I am looking forward to seeing if there will be any guest appearances.

Bring on the horns!

[Corona]

Thanks Corona. I am looking forward to seeing if there will be any guest appearances.

no problem Mac...Maybe we can all put some pressure on Big Sam to show up after his CAC show is done at midnight...he has a myspace page. Shorty has played with them too but I think he's in Mobile doing a gig but it's supposed to be early....maybe he'll be back Sat. night as he's playing the fest Sunday...we can always hit him up on his myspace too :)

[McGregor]

I don't think that little Mobile fest will last very late so hopefully Mr. Andrews can make it back to New Orleans for the show. It's just a bit over two hours back to New Orleans. I'd love to see him up there with Dragon Smoke.

He definitely was a huge addition to the Dumpstaphunk show in May and he always looks like he's having so much fun which is very contagious.

[KeyWest Bruce]

I guess it is too late to order a ticket for the Strut through Ticketmaster. It says to allow 10 days by mail, and I am leaving in one week. This is going to be a little vacation for me, so I am staying an extra week:D Anyhow, is there a possibility of this thing selling out? Or any way to buy a ticket with "Will Call"? I hope so! I DID however make sure to get my Dragon Smoke ticket;) Anxiously anticipating this trip and all of the fun that I know will be had!

Hey Bruce, I didn't get a ticket for the strut also, but I don't think its going to sell out. Looking forward to seeing you again my friend.

u can buy tix starting at around 6 pm...previously they were sold outside
cafe brasil, but i thought i read something about blue nile selling
the wrist bands this year....

[funkkjunkie]

For a history of Dragon Smoke go here: http://tinyurl.com/yobdbu
It's a writeup for an August 06 DS show at the boomboom room in San Fran.

[Leni]

IT'S SPELLED VAUGHAN'S Y'ALL AND IT DESERVES EVER LAST ONE OF THE SYLLABLES OF IT'S ILLUSTRIOUS NAME; I like driving down the street with the moon out and passing by streets named "Piety" and then "Desire" and then landing a Vaughan's, just so organic to New Orleans and the neighborhood. They got the place just right.

As far as being hit by a trombone, I would welcome Kermit bring back a trombonist back in the group and I'm hoping this post means he already has done so --maybe corey harris or glen david andrews.

[yehyourite]

Well said Leni...and its spelled Henry :)...

[bywterbro]

as in Corey Henry:rolleyes:

[ibjamn]

IT'S SPELLED VAUGHAN'S Y'ALL AND IT DESERVES EVER LAST ONE OF THE SYLLABLES OF IT'S ILLUSTRIOUS NAME.

Stop hollerin, Leni! ;)


It's spelled "Vaughan's", but it's pronounced ThroatWarblerMangrove.
(Monty Python reference)

[ibjamn]

Dang Bro & Willie, ya'll beat me to it! I was gonna ask when did Corey Harris start playing trombone!!

http://i127.photobucket.com/albums/p136/ibjamn50/coreyharris.jpg

[swag]

I've always said you've never really experienced New Orleans until you've been up front at the Maple Leaf on a Tuesday night ducking trombone slides.

But I imagine that Vaughan's would qualify as well.

[KeyWest Bruce]

The strut won't sell out, you can get a ticket there. Bruce, email me, please!

Thanks Jenn! I'm looking all over and can't find your e-mail address....can't access my online address book, so had to start all over. I think I know it but didn't want to chance it. Mine is : bruce-kwfl@keysdigital.com:)

[KeyWest Bruce]

Hey Bruce, I didn't get a ticket for the strut also, but I don't think its going to sell out. Looking forward to seeing you again my friend.

Thanks Mel, likewise. :)

[Leni]

Well said Leni...and its spelled Henry :)...

That's what I get for posting just as an Ambien is kicking in:-) And a further correction is even in order -- I said Vaughan's deserves every last one of its "syllables," when I should have said every last one of its "vowels." And on another note, let's hope Kermit brings in a trombone again -- I really miss the interplay between him and Corey, not to mention just the extra dimension the second horn adds to the mix. See y'all at Vaughan's Thurs before the Strut.

P.S. Last time I went to Vaughan's before midnight (pre-K), it seems the show started very close to midnight.

[Jada]

Thank you for the kid info Bro, hadn't seen that before. "My" kidlet is so excited she is giddy about her first trip to NOLA. Of course being the girly girl that she is, it has also turned into the search for the "gotta have" madras shorts and perfect shoes, ROFLMAO.

Click on satchmo strut and play the video. It's long and full of goodness. And check it out. We helped sponsor the strut because we gave our money to the new orleans musicians clinic raffle and they are one of the sponsors!

So cool, KK! :cool:
When I was in Canada, I told corona I was thinking about going to the Strut & Satchmo...unfortunately, something cropped up yesterday that will prevent me form going.

I hope everyone has, as Aurora would say, a "fanf*ckingtastic" time.

I must have accidently deleted the Gov't Majik show, so I have that one back on now.

Come again on the DBA, etc? Is it correct now?

And let me know what needs to be added and I'll keep it updated. I don't know some of those bars/bands so I didn't include them but certainly will if anyone lets me know what they want on there.

heres the official schedule for friday nite frenchmen strut......i need glasses...
i didnt see DBA next to Hot Club....ey McGregor cant you find a way to
make it down on friday nite....music runs pretty late...


Yea we have been pondering coming down on Friday already. We were trying to keep it on the cheap-side of things but one more night isn't going to break us. All I need is a little push and I think I can convince the significant other that Friday night would be beneficial to both of us. :)

which i assume is in the street, and the spotted cat is always free,,
theres tons of free music.....theres no charge to walk on frenchmen st..
just to get in to a few of the clubs...

[funkkjunkie]

Pushing hard, mcgregor. You don't wanna miss out. And neither does she. She just doesn't know it. You might as well do the whole shebang. What's another hundred or so in the scheme of things.

[McGregor]

I'll run it by the 'boss' for certain.

We're getting married and (hopefully) buying a house in the next year so these are my obstacles for this weekend!

Fortunately, she likes having a good time as much if not more than me so that works in my favor.:p

[funkkjunkie]

Cool. But we know we'll see yall sometime next weekend! Hey, I think we have a gridder in da house! Thanks, mc.

I did mention going down on that Friday at lunch today while we were both home.

"So there sure is alot of good music on the Friday night before we go down for Satchmo Fest..."

(silence)

"It sure would be alot of fun, not that much more expensive. I've heard there are jazz bands playing on Frenchmen for free....and on balconies in the quarter..."

(silence, continues reading Harry Potter before finally looking up)

Her: "are we ever going to get married?" :p

"of course, what does that have to do with this?"

(more Harry Potter)

Now, I'll break her down with the jello shots!

we get in after dinner and then usually take time to chill and hang with the Jamns...likely won't head out until later that night but will know more when it gets closer....does that help? lol Maybe we can meet somewhere for a drink before heading to Vaughan's?

Gumbo is in on Thurs and I'm thinking Linz is too.....not sure about the rest of the krewe. When do you move to your hotel room NOLA?

Anyone know the story of how it went from satchel-mouth swing to be satchmo?

[mightyradgumbo]

Anyone know the story of how it went from satchel-mouth swing to be satchmo?

King Oliver and other early jazz musicians called Louis “Dipper Mouth” or “Satchel Mouth”, presumably because of his large mouth. Early in the thirties, Louis visited England and was given his trademark handle “Satchmo” when British fans heard the “Satchel Mouth” tag incorrectly. Billie Holiday called him “Pops.” Gate was also used to designate Armstrong at some point.

According to Louis' own book “Satchmo, My Life In New Orleans” reprinted by Ace Books in 1957 (originally published 1955), “Dipper...(that was my nickname - short for Dippermouth, from the piece called Dippermouth Blues)”. It would appear that the name was given to him after the tune which he evidently liked when he was very young. -Bruce Barnett

I can't believe this only a week away, it's sort of sneaking up on me. I need to start making a packing list (I am a big list-maker!) http://www.panicfreaks.org/images/emoticons/friday.gif

Hey, McG, do you have the green light on the Friday night strut yet?

[almarco]

yummm gettin hungry readin that run down

[McGregor]

Hey, McG, do you have the green light on the Friday night strut yet?

Not yet, it's one of those very delicate things that you can't push to hard for and must strike at exactly the right time! LOL

It's sort of tough as well because we can't leave until we're off work on Friday regardless so that puts us in Nawlins around 10pm or so, and then having to check into a hotel which means close to midnight before we could get out (which I realize is no big deal). If I could get a room at the Frenchmen that night, it would make life much easier. Something about checking into a hotel Friday night, staying up all night and then moving to another hotel is not very appealing.

Otherwise, we may just have to head down bright and early (really early) Saturday morning. I need to call the Frenchmen and actually speak to someone about a room for Friday rather than continually checking the computer.

[NOLA]

Ooh, I must drop in to see Stanton's trio on Friday during the strut....that's gonna be awesome!! God, I can't wait....15 MORE SLEEPS!!!!!!! Wahooooo!!!
Since I'm being super lazy right now....anyone have Thursday's grids? lol
What time does Kermit usually go on at Vaughns?

In case you don't already know, Robert Walter's sitting in with Stanton's trio.

[Corona]

I saw that Leni and that made me really excited!!! That B3 is my FAVORITE instrument and man, this is gonna be great. Only thing is, the sightlines are brutal at dba and that makes me sad :(

The food list is fantastic......did someone say Cochon du Lait po boy? Shrimp & Pork Spring Rolls w/ Peanut Sauce? Mardi Gras pasta (what is that??), Red velvet cake cupcakes??? Man, I can't wait!

[yehyourite]

Up early in the morning! Good girl! Good training.

[funkkjunkie]

Stanton Moore's Trio IS Robert Walter, Stanton and Will Bernard. At least it was at the jazzfest. With Brian Coogan sitting in for a bit.

[Corona]

no kidding? I never knew that! I always thought Robert Walter sat in with them. Cool!

That sounds like a multi-colored pasta salad with some pretty, colorful veggies.
Of course mardi gras could mean anything...like they just throw a bunch of stuff in it?????? Either way I'm sure it'll be yummy

I love the B3 too. You should download Jimmy Smith's version of "When the Saints Go Marching In" for some killer B3 stylings. I even had to tear myself away from the Patry in 2005 to attend the Hammond B3 Organ Summit that Joe Krown put together. It was amazing.

And my fave Satchmo Fest food last year were the Spring Rolls at Amy's Vietnamese stand. At one point they ran out of filling and made them with salmon and they were even better like that.

[Leni]

[QUOTE=Corona;86148] Only thing is, the sightlines are brutal at dba and that makes me sad :(

If you get there a little early, you can usually claim a good spot. Even when it's crowded, if you're determined enough, you can somehow squeeze in up front:-)

Stand in the windowsill and look right over the crowd...dats the way to do it if you don't get up front.

also if you are doing the trip during the summer-maybe a whale watch or a harbor cruise.

lunch on Newbury Street is nice-bit trendy but great people watching

I have to take brass out of the equation because I'll be trying to see every BB at the fest, esp those I haven't seen before, because I love the stuff. Must see brass: Rebirth(it's been too long) and Mo lasses(gotta support the girl players) and a bit of Soul Rebels.
Charmaine Neville. Because she can sound quite a bit like satchmo. Also wanna see one of her sessions at the kids tent so i can try to learn scat.
Maurice Brown. It's been since 05 and I wanna see how long his dreads are.
Michael White. Never seen him.
Kermit. Is there a better way to end the fest?

wow, boy, am I out of the loop! LOL Thanks!

[yehyourite]

Mac, they are all no miss for me! I couldn't answer your question adequately if my life depended on it. I can tell you Kermit for me is sublime, carrying in him so much of what is New Orleans (no pun intended). The joy, the wisdom of his elders, the legacy of Pops. No one shows it better than Kermit. Of course Uncle Lionel and Treme will be shakin' down on another stage the same time and Mr. Jones will be blowing sweet at the other.

[ibjamn]

Maurice Brown. It's been since 05 and I wanna see how long his dreads are.

ABout Shamarr length, we saw Maurice at fest this year. Shamarr told me people kept coming up to him at fest, saying "Nice set, Maurice"! ;)

Thanks YYR!

Can anyone tell me about the guys below?

I caught Jeremy doing a set at the Marriott a couple of years ago. He's a trumpet player and crooner. He used to play with Harry Connick Jr.'s band. I thought he was impressive. My girlfriends loved him.

I'll check that out when I get home this evening (stupid youtube blockage from work!)

Thanks to everyone for the input.

[swag]

It's not more than a 2 minute walk between stages at the mint.

Skip other folks choices, and check them all out yourself.

[yehyourite]

Excellent advice from the Swagmeister..

[McGregor]

Just looking at the map, I didn't realize how close the Frenchmen Hotel was to the Mint, very nice indeed.

[almarco]

[almarco]

[funkkjunkie]

That's just what i'm gonna do, swag. This is an opp to eliminate foms with the 4 stages so close together. I was just trying to help mc out.
Bigdag, how many girlfriends have you got? ;)

If you've never seen Dr. Michael White, you should not miss him. He plays clarinet and is a true virtuoso, not to mention scholar. I also saw Bleu Orleans here in Los Angeles and they were also terrific.

Last year 2006 I went to Satchmo Fest based on the lineup of 2005 which was posted on all the fest boards and WWOZ and had not been updated at all and which featured people I really wanted to see. I didn't find out I had planned my trip based on the wrong schedule until the Saturday of the Fest when I received a program and was wondering what happened to Dr. Michael White and Philip Manuel and others. Talk about a surprise and major disappointment. However, in true New Orleans fashion, I ended up having one of the best times I've ever had in New Orleans and saw some of the best music ever -- at the fest and in the clubs.
