The
BOURBON STREET
Jazz Festival
🎶
Jazz is a Beautiful Thing.
Jazz has an innate sense to capture your imagination and transport it through time and space like no other genre. This feeling takes time and effort to grasp. You will have to listen deeply and appreciate the diversity of what happens in a single rhythm. Jazz can be complex yet so simple at the same time. It's not only a beautiful melody or mesmerising solo but a deep conversation between the music and listener.
It's not only a beautiful melody or mesmerising solo but a deep conversation between the music and listener. The music comes from a pure place with meaningfulness and freedom. Freedom to feel, feel what is real and what feels right. It’s a freedom to forget the worries of life and just be present in the moment... and everyone should have a taste of that freedom.
We bring you:
A Taste of New Orleans
