NolaVie is delighted to join NOLA Art House Music, a next-generation collaborative of some of New Orleans’ finest professional jazz musicians, and Tableau, the French Quarter’s newest glamorous eatery, to present Le Petit Noel, the first annual jazz tribute to the holiday season in the beautifully restored historic Le Petit Theatre on Saturday, December 7 at 8 p.m. A post-concert reception for all ticket holders, courtesy of Tableau, will take place immediately following the performance.
Accompanied by a seven-piece jazz band led by trumpeter Edward Anderson and featuring the extraordinary talent of Nolavie columnist Evan Christopher, world renowned for his clarinet renditions of contemporary early jazz, Le Petit Noel will be an evening of warm holiday joy — an only-in-New Orleans musical gift from three of the city’s most beloved vocalists Wanda Rouzan, Carmen Barika and Philip Manuel. They may even invite you to sing along.
