Celebrating the musical soul of New Orleans, native son Victor Goines leads an ensemble playing the best of Jelly Roll Morton, Louis Armstrong, and other traditional early jazz pioneers.

Award-winning poet Tony Hoagland is the author of Sweet Ruin (1992), Donkey Gospel (1998), What Narcissism Means To Me (2003), and Hard Rain (2005). He writes “hilarious, searing poems that break your heart so fast you hardly notice you’re standing knee deep in a pool of implications.” (Marie Howe)
