About This Past Event:
Last July, Evan Christopher's sold out evenings at the Duc des Lombards, the best listening room in Paris, commemorated the centenary of Sidney Bechet's 1919 debut in Europe. In the nascent days of jazz, Bechet opened the music world's eyes to the music's possibilities. Featured artists included pianist Philippe Milanta, bassist Sébastien Girardot and drummer Julie Saury.

This Sunday won't be the first time I featured Joe Ashlar on Hammond B-3 at Snug Harbor. We first did it in 2015 reprising our show a couple of months earlier for the Chicago Jazz Festival. For Snug, we rented the organ from Blue Nile, but we had to move it down Frenchmen Street. ...Lucky timing when a faux second-line blocked traffic for us. Dig this shot of NOPD helping us out with the wedding in the background!
