Join New Orleans Jazz Hall of Famer, LEROY JONES and his QUINTET
"The mission of the Leroy Jones Quintet is to expose audiences everywhere to the authentic music of New Orleans, the music of Louis Armstrong, Buddy Bolden, Danny Barker and all the other greats who have helped create the rich gumbo that is the sound of New Orleans ..."
A typical set list for the Leroy Jones Quintet includes traditional numbers like "Bourbon Street Parade," "Sleepy Time Down South," "Basin Street Blues," "Do You Know What it Means (to Miss New Orleans)," "Dinah" and "When My Dreamboat Comes Home". Along with original Leroy Jones compositions, such as "Soft Shoe", Jones plays and sings impeccably - with the kind of swing that only a musician with his pedigree can deliver consistently night after night.
"I remember Leroy [Jones] years ago in New Orleans. He was always regarded as the
greatest. No one could touch him. For young musicians like me, he was exciting, intimidating. For the older ones, he was the keeper of the flame. But Leroy did more than keep the flame. He started a forest fire..." Harry Connick, Jr.
