Show Description:
The good times roll as Allen Toussaint joins the CJO for a Mardi Gras celebration!
In a career that has spanned nearly half the century, Allen Toussaint has exerted an unparalleled influence over the music of New Orleans. His massive influence on American music reaches deep into the idioms of rhythm and blues, pop, country, musical theater, blues and jazz. Join in the festivities as the party transforms into an unforgettable Mardi Gras celebration with the “Southern Knight” himself.
Jazz Arts Group recognizes Habitat for Humanity during New Orleans on Parade:
Habitat for Humanity and the people of the Gulf Coast will forever be entwined. Habitat was the first homebuilder to start construction efforts after the 2005 Hurricane Katrina disaster. For five years, Habitat has been helping the people and the communities of this region to rebuild and renew. More than 2,200 Habitat homes have been built as part of the hurricane recovery. We invite you to take a look at Habitat’s work in the Gulf.
