Noteworthy performance:
The Dew Drop Jazz Hall, Mandeville, Louisiana
It's not often that I'm given an opportunity, such as this, to witness history and culture meeting, in what's believed to be the world's oldest unaltered rural Jazz hall. To be on the same stage where young Louis Armstrong was said to have started, and to play beside Big Chief Monk Boudreaux and Papa Mali, brought together an incredibly moving experience ... and luckily it was caught on video. Enjoy! JS
