Tim Laughlin and the New Orleans All Stars with Special Guest: Connie Jones |
|
| Orleans native (pronounced lock-lin) has proven to be a true son of the city known to be constantly changing and re-inventing itself. Like the city, his refreshing and imaginative expression of our timeless American Jazz embodies both the historic classic jazz old and the cutting edge of more contemporary forms. It is music for all seasons, fresh, exuberant, innovative and exciting. Joining Laughlin's New Orleans All Stars is the legendary trumpet/cornet of Connie Jones. Now in his 70's, Jones began his career at age ten and his professional start at the age of eighteen on Bourbon Street. He still plays a few gigs each week and is a member of the French Quarter's Festival Committee. The Sweet and Hot Music Festival is more than proud to have this illustrious pair in their first appearance with us. |

It is a special weekend, one that should never be missed by any serious jazz fan. Scott Yanow |

There were so many highlights throughout this festival here are a few; Jack Sheldon Big Band roaring through their performance; Tommy Saunders paying tribute to Wild Bill Davison with humorous stories and hot solos; Howard Alden, Bucky Pizzarelli and bassist Dave Stone during a set that can only be called exquisite; clarinet and tenor summits; and much more.
