Acoustic Gypsy Jazz Jam
Acoustic Gypsy Jazz Jam
We will play acoustic gypsy/swing jazz music. This time will be at a bar just around the corner from where we met last time. This way folks can order foods or drinks if they want and we can have more room to spread out and also will not have a hard stop time since the bar will be open anyway. The first jam we had out here in Leesburg was really fun and I met lots of fun new musician friends. Looking forward to this next one. Hopefully, we will see some of those great musicians who showed up last time and maybe some new faces as well. :) This space is also on the ground floor, so no stairs to walk up. Also still just around the corner from the free downtown parking garage. Tara Linhardt

The Palm Court Jazz Café was a New Orleans fine dining and traditional jazz institution for 35 years, and its heart lives on! One of the few New Orleans traditional jazz institutions that also offered fine dining was the Palm Court Jazz Café. For 35 years, it offerred live jazz 5 nights a week featuring the city's finest musicians. Nina Buck, proprietress, and her husband George provideda home for both musicians and music enthusiasts alike. Learn more about the restaurant and jazz club and about the band that continues to honor the club's legacy - The Pal Court Jazz Band. Craig Klein is born and bred New Orleans and has constantly been exposed to a diverse mixture of music cultures. As a high school trombone player hanging around the French Quarter his love of New Orleans music was solidified when he stumbled upon Preservation Hall in the mid 70’s. He chased the New Orleans sound all around town. In 1980, his trombone playing Uncle Gerry Dallmann invited him to parade around the Quarter with a funky street band called The Pair-A-Dice Tumblers. That experience led him to become a founding member of two prominent brass bands, The Storyville Stompers (1981) and later The New Orleans NightCrawlers (1994) . . . . . Craig and Uncle Gerry still play a lot of music together to this very day! In 1990, he received a call that concluded with an audition over the phone that landed him a gig with Harry Connick, Jr. This 16-year journey led to many recordings and world tours. In 1998, while on tour with Harry in New York, Craig was out enjoying the city and heard a Latin/Salsa band with 5 trombones . . . . That night he had a dream to put a New Orleans band together featuring lots of trombones. He approached his Harry Connick band mate and fellow New Orleanian, Mark Mullins about the idea. In 2006 Craig left Harry to focus on Bonerama and touring. The rest is Bonerama history. Craig also became a founding member of the New Orleans Nightcrawlers brass band. The band started out as a writer’s “workshop” and was an occasion for the musicians to get together and rehearse newly written music. Made up of some of the top musicians in New Orleans, the band build up a repertoire of tunes and made their first recording in 1996 with Rounder Records. The band now has five exceptional records and in April 2020 their album, ATMOSPHERE, won a Grammy in Best Regional Roots Album category. Craig's latest solo record was recorded in December of 2020 and was partly funded from a grant by the Threadhead Cultural Foundation. The recordings were meant to be a two-trombone gospel production featuring Lucien Barbarin and Craig with a rhythm section. Craig and Lu were already in preproduction of the recording when prostate cancer took Lucien away in January 2020. Wanting to continue the work Craig decided to make a tribute record for one of his best friends and greatest influences. Being inspired by a Dickey Wells and Rex Stewart record, Talkative Horns - Musical Conversations On Lucien Barbarin was produced. A tribute to a dear friend, great trombonist and entertainer. Every song on the record has a direct connection to Lucien. Craig has a vast musical experience and has played on well over 150 records, including his first solo record, New Orleans Trombonisms (2004). He has played with the best: Dr. John, The Neville Brothers, George Porter, Leroy Jones, Tori Amos, Dave Bartholomew, REM, Allen Toussaint, Preservation Hall, The Palm Court Jazz Band, The Jazz Vipers, Bruce Hornsby, Storyville Stompers, New Orleans Nightcrawlers . . . just to name a few! Don't miss your chance to hear Craig speak about The Palm Court Jazz Cafe. He feels the spirit of the music and he brings with him a real New Orleans vibe to all he does.
