New Orleans Night! A Mardi Gras Party with Brandon Guerra, Adam Carrillo, and Friends
Fri, Nov 20
New Orleans Night has run at Jazz, TX since it's inception. Brandon Guerra, the drummer, learned the second line groove from two people who built it, New Orleans players Johnny Vidacovich and Shannon Powell. Saxophonist Adam Carrillo, who trained at Berklee and Indiana University , leads the parade beat beside him. The two of them trade "Bourbon Street Parade" and "When the Saints Go Marching In" most weeks. "Come to the Mardi Gras" and "Do You Know What It Means to Miss New Orleans" turn up too. The New Orleans second line is a tradition at Jazz, TX.
