Music Voyager: Louisiana: New Orleans - The Perfect Musical Storm

‘Nawlins’…the Crescent City, where the local music and cuisine have a lot in common: they are both spicy, fused with a multicultural mix of ingredients, and once you've had a taste, all you want is more. Music Voyager arrives here during the build up to Mardi Gras, the time of the year when people forget all of their worries and join together in crazy celebration. The musical journey starts moves from the classic jazz at Preservation Hall, to the sounds of trumpeter Irvin Mayfield at his club on Bourbon Street. Virtuoso Troy “Trombone Shorty”Andrews treats Music Voyager to a searing demonstration of his talents, followed by an intimate get together with crooner Jeremy Davenport. Music Voyager catches a scorching jam with Cyril Neville and Galactic at the famed Tiptitina’s, and joins local legend Kermit Ruffins at his annual Mardi Gras morning barbeque party.
