DESCRIPTION:
As part of the national celebrations during Jazz Appreciation Month's 10th anniversary this April, the Museum will be taking a close look at jazz's birthplace, New Orleans: how its art forms, rich cultural diversity, and spirit have thrived in a cosmopolitan fusion for nearly three centuries.

Join in the celebration through family-friendly activities and performances by Cajun bluegrass ensemble Hoppin' John String Band of Jazz at Lincoln Center's Rhythm Road series and trombonist and National Endowment for the Arts Jazz Master Delfeayo Marsalis with his popular Party Like It's Mardi! band.
