New Orleans Music Tour
Beskrivning
Även om New Orleans är starkt associerat med Jazz, kommer denna turné att visa hur varje form av amerikansk populärmusik informeras av New Orleans. Som den grånande New Orleans R & B-legenden Ernie K-Doe sa: "Jag är inte säker, men jag är nästan positiv, all musik kom från New Orleans."
Turalternativ
Resplan
Utforska världens rikaste musikaliska stad, med början med Louis Armstrong Park och Kongo-torget, den historiska platsen för afrikanska slavsamlingar, den enda platsen i Nordamerika där rena västafrikanska religiösa ritualer och musikaliska traditioner utfördes. Congo Square anses vara källan till all New Orleans-musik och följaktligen så mycket av den globala populära låten. Det är också platsen för den första New Orleans Jazz- och Heritage Festival 1970. Från Armstrong Park, se byggnaden som inrymde Cosimo Matassas banbrytande J&M Studios som skapade "New Orleans Sound" med sådana New Orleanians som professor Longhair, Dave Bartholomew, Fats Domino, Guitar Slim, Shirley & Lee, Lloyd Price, Ernie K-Doe , Allen Toussaint, Clarence “Frogman” Henry & besökare inklusive Little Richard, Ray Charles och Jerry Lee Lewis. J & M Studios är den verkliga födelseplatsen för rock 'n roll.
Du kommer att besöka Basin Street Station och promenera ner på Basin Street där du ser resterna av Storyville (inklusive Frank Early's "My Place" Saloon där "Pretty Baby" skrevs), säkerställd århundradets röda ljusdistrikt vars salonger presenterade sådana som King Oliver, Buddy Bolden, Jelly Roll Morton, Sidney Bechet och många fler under jazzens tidiga dagar.
Promenera sedan genom Tangobältet till May Baileys och platsen för det gamla Franska operahuset.
Avsluta vid den legendariska Preservation Hall, en plats som representerar New Orleans musiks förflutna, nutid och framtid. Lär dig New Orleans Bounce Musics ursprung och kolla in världens största gatumusiker som bär på lågan än idag.
Congo Square är den enda platsen i Nordamerika där ren västafrikansk religiös ritual ägde rum. Om amerikansk populärmusik kommer från New Orleans har den sitt ursprung på Kongotorget.

Our guide, David, was extremely knowledgeable, personable and engaging. Worth more than every penny.
Our tour guide, Mr David Higgins, was wonderful! Full of energy, very knowledgeable, and a musician himself with music in his family lineage. I learned so much in one hour! I 100% recommend. A few things I didn't expect: there was quite a bit of standing for long periods, although there were benches to sit nearby and we could have asked him to move. It began to rain one hour into the tour, we took cover in a nearby bar and he ended the tour there. I wish he would have stayed to chat until the rain ended and we continued on.
David is very passionate about music. And a wealth of knowledge. He is very animated and fun to listen to.
Very informative, interesting, well presented. David Highins is a weakth of knowledge regarding New orleans music as well as all things New Orleans
Brion was absolutely the BEST!! He was so knowledgeable in history and music. It was more than we ever expected!! We learned so much. He was personable and fun. I highly recommend this tour.
The tour was enjoyable, and our guide, David (I believe that was his name), was incredibly knowledgeable about the history of music. I found it interesting overall. However, when my friends and I booked the tour, we expected to visit the hotspots where music or jazz is currently happening, along with a bit of its history. Instead, we mainly visited statues of people who played significant roles in the history of music, while David explained who they were and what they accomplished. On the bright side, he also helped take some great pictures for us and told us a little about vampire history.
Margie was the best!! She took us all over Armstrong Park and shared amazing stories about each section and statue with music playing as we walked. Congo Square’s history was so impactful and to see so many of our great musicians all with NOLA in their blood was great!
What a fabulous music tour with the animated and passionate David Higgins! Not only did he have the historical information to share, but his personal stories along with the visuals and audible snippets from his iPad to compliment it! Money and time well spent!
What an experience. David is extremely knowledgeable about not only local music but the impact New Orleans musicians had on the national level. David is a gem.
Great tour. 5 stars. David was very fun and knowledgeable. If you love the history of jazz, this tours for you
