New Orleans Jazz Park
916 N. Peters Street
New Orleans, LA, 70116
You may like to enjoy jazz on your MP3 player, your stereo in your New Orleans apartment, or better yet, live in downtown New Orleans. And of course, free is awesome, so make your way to the New Orleans Jazz Park, an official National Parks Service park that offers wonderful live music performances weekly for all to enjoy. And if you've never particularly enjoyed jazz, or have not had much experience listening to it, this park will enrich your experience and give you some appreciation of this style of music with historical displays. Improv in music was the start of jazz, founded in New Orleans at the turn of the twentieth century. Jazz is a combination of several musical styles, including the blues, gospel and ragtime. Musicians, many times from different musical backgrounds, simply worked together, blending the styles to give it the beat, the vocals and instrumentation for eyes closed dancing and singing. As time has gone on since the early beginnings of jazz, the evolution of the music has turned into swing, bebop and avant-garde, and somehow into hip hop and rap. Today, the United States Government recognizes jazz as an American art form. The visitor center of New Orleans Jazz Park features exhibit space, an information desk, bookstore and holds a performance area. Exhibits on display during business hours include photos and history of such New Orleans jazz musical greats as Louis "Satchmo" Armstrong, Charles "Buddy" Bolden, "Papa Jack" George Vetiala Laine, and Sidney Bichet. The heartwarming stories told here will delight the jazz fanatic and touch the reader's heart. For example, did you know that as a boy, Louis Armstrong played a tin horn while riding on a coal cart to attract customers? And what a wonderful voice he had as well. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, a park ranger presents a lecture about this incredible form of music, or may provide a demonstration regarding one of the instruments. Sometimes, jazz funerals, second-line parades and Mardi Gras Indians will be described and brought to life (pardon the pun) with the hosting of local historians, musicians, and participants from New Orleans music heritage. The weekly performances are stellar, ranging from Saturday morning children programs in which children can bring their own instruments and play with the band, to afternoon concerts with talented pianists, trumpeters or quintets and seven piece bands. When you're online at your New Orleans apartment or at your work site, review the New Orleans Jazz website for a schedule of events, including performances or guest lectures. The visitor center is open 5 days a week, 9:00 am till 5:00 pm, Tuesday through Saturday, and is closed Sunday and Monday. Broad plans for the expansion of New Orleans Jazz Park are in the works, with development into a unique park with four buildings connected with by lovely lagoons and green space in the near future. Get out of your comfy New Orleans Apartment and explore some jazz!
