Celebrate  Mardi Gras right here with the Jack Brass Band!

The Jack Brass Band was formed in 1999 in the Twin Cities.  Based on the traditions of New Orleans' brass bands, they are the ambassadors to the Crescent City's rich musical history.

Jack Brass  brings old New Orleans jazz from Louis Armstrong's era, to the modern street Mardi Gras anthems with the instrumentation, feel, and energy they have mastered through countless gigs, parades, festival appearances including trips to New Orleans.

Tonight's show is a re-broadcast from a previous Jazz Fest Live show.  Mike Olander, leader of the Jack Brass Band, will be on the live chat!

"If you like your gumbo spicy and your music hot, check out the Jack Brass Band,"  Wynton Marsalis.
