Are you looking for a unique evening experience in New Orleans? All Bout Dat Tours LLC and The Historic Sweet Lorraine's Jazz Club have teamed up to bring you an evening of world-class jazz.
Singer Mikhala Iversen, also known as Jazz Muffin, and The Original Tuxedo Jazz Band will be headlining the event. The band has been around since 1910, and is currently led by New Orleans native and highly favored drummer, Mr. Gerald French.
Mikhala has some impressive musical influences. Her mother, Rosita Thomas, was a celebrated jazz and blues singer, and her father, Henrik Iversen, is an award-winning journalist and founder of The Ben Webster Foundation. Her aunties were Josephine Baker, Eartha Kidd, and Nina Simone, and her uncles were Ben Webster, Clark Terry, Dexter Gordon, Ernie Wilkins, and New Orleans' own Louis Armstrong.
The jazz shows will be held every Friday at Sweet Lorraine's (located at 1931 St. Claude Ave, New Orleans, LA 70116). The October shows are on the 6th, 13th, 20th and 27th, and the November shows are on the 3rd, 10th, 17th, and 24th. On those nights, you can expect a Billie Holiday and Lester Young tribute, some New Orleans traditional jazz, and some brown sugar blues.
Mikhala says, "We are honoring Billie Holiday and Lester Young in a tribute concert. I'm fortunate to be working with some of New Orleans' finest jazz musicians. As jazz singers, we carry lighthearted and deep songs to the next generation. These are songs that contain truth, vulnerability, and resistance. The best and only real way to do this is to get up on the bandstand and sing them."
The shows begin at 8 pm and 10 pm each night. Seating is limited, so make sure to make reservations in advance at AllBoutDat.com. Don't miss out on this amazing event!
