SDSU Aztecs Fan's Guide to New Orleans
MUSIC AND CLUBS : New Orleans IS music. It’s always in the air, providing the soundtrack to every adventure, spilling out open doorways of clubs and issuing from the instruments of street corner buskers.Whether it is the Dixieland Jazz that has come to define the CrescentCity, New Orleans funk, or delta blues, you can get your fill all over town. Stand-out venues are the historic Preservation Hall, at 726 St. Peter St. in the French Quarter, Tipitina’s, ( 501 Napoleon Ave. ) and the clubs on Frenchmen Street, in the neighborhood known as the Marigny (pronounced mar-eh-nee). D.B.A, at 618 Frenchmen St. is one of the few smoke-free clubs in New Orleans, and John Boutte, who wrote the theme to the hit HBO series Treme often performs there. Other great jazz names to look for around town are trumpeter Kermit Ruffins, Trombone Shorty (both of whom made recurring appearances on Treme), and funk trumpeter Shamarr Allen. Another musical genre that defines Louisiana is the Cajun and zydeco music of the area known as Acadiana, of which Lafayette, home of the Ragin’ Cajuns, is the heart.The best place in New Orleansto dance some zydeco (the music is so lively and fun you can’t help but dance!) is Mid City Lanes Rock’n’Bowl (yes you can bowl AND dance!), 3000 S. Carrollton Ave. in the Uptown District, where Thursday nights are always Zydeco Night. On December 15, Grammy winners Chubby Carrier and the Bayou Swamp Band, who will also be headlining San Diego’s Gator By the Bay Festival in May, will have the place jumping! Kermit Ruffins brings his jazz trumpet there on December 17.
