  1. #PortlandME - #JazzAtTheMovies film series

    "#WMPG’s Jazz At The Movies team are pleased to present our first film of the 2026 season, the documentary 'Music Pictures: #NewOrleans'.

    "Beautifully shot and recorded, the film is a loving portrait of four Crescent City jazz, soul, and blues legends, and a celebration of 100 years of New Orleans musical history.

    "Directed by New Orleans native filmmaker #BenChace, 'Music Pictures: New Orleans' is a vibrant documentary exploring the rich musical heritage of New Orleans. It showcases the city’s diverse musical landscape, from legendary #JazzClubs to lively street performances, highlighting the influences of #Creole, #AfricanAmerican, and #French cultures, and how historical events, like #MardiGras and #HurricaneKatrina, have shaped the city’s music scene. Through interviews with local musicians and historians, Music Pictures: New Orleans reveals music’s central role in the city’s cultural and social fabric.

    "The film showcases four New Orleans music legends: Grammy-winning #IrmaThomas 'The Soul Queen of New Orleans' ; #BennyJonesSr., the leader and drummer of the world renowned #TremeBrassBand; guitarist #LittleFreddieKing, the 'Last King of the Blues'; and the pianist and educator, #EllisMarsalisJr., patriarch of the famed jazz family, in what would be his last concert before his death. Music Pictures: New Orleans follows each of the four artists, one by one, as they talk about their lives, rehearse, and record a new album in the studio in early 2020s. By combining vintage footage with live interviews and rare backstage access, this film provides a wonderful snapshot of New Orleans as the home for so much great American music, from #soul to #BrassBand to jazz and #TheBlues. What better way to get ready for the Mardi Gras season!"

  2. The Jazz Festival Parade

    I did not know that there would be a small parade of brass bands down Oliver Plunkett Street until my wife was told about it an hour before!

    It was just after sunset and dark and getting cold but there was huge excitement as the crowd followed the musicians down the street.

    And don't forget @shout at #leespalace! You've heard them at raptors games, at Jazz Fest, at Union Station, at the #DromTaberna #cameronhouse or #Mekan, on street corners — now catch the WHOLE show!

    N. B.: May include a #DrumLine.

    I did hear someone say this may be the only time she'd get to hear a #TaylorSwift tune played live, but I won't get into that…
