Two free shows on Friday night (if you schedule it right you can do both), a chance to buy some records, and a big anniversary celebration on Saturday night. Here’s what’s happening this weekend.
Improvisation Jazz legend David Murray has been in town all week as the guest instructor at the Louis Armstrong Jazz Camp. Tonight he performs with Kidd Jordan, the camp’s director, and the student orchestra. The show is free and open to the public and it’s in one of the best sounding rooms in the city. Head to Loyola University’s Roussel Hall at 8 PM.
Tipitina’s continues the Free Fridays series with the Honey Island Swamp Band. Dave Jordan opens the show with his band. Jordan has been on the scene for years, he was the bassist and songwriter in Juice, but lately he has been showcasing his own roots rock/Americana sound instead of the funk that Juice was known for. It should be a great time.
The latest Record Raid is Saturday at both the Hi Ho Lounge and Siberia. They are right across the street from each other on St.Claude Avenue. TVD says, “go buy some vinyl!”
My how time flies. Saturday night, the I-Club in the Marriot Hotel celebrates its first anniversary. Los Hombres Calientes is the featured act. Vivaz is also on the bill.
