We’ve had our ear to the ground this week, sussing out some of the must-see shows during the “Daze Between” Jazz Fest weekends, otherwise known as Jazz Fest by Night, and the show happening tonight at the Howlin’ Wolf is definitely hot on the radar!
“American Promise” will feature a combination of superb, and often under the radar, live and electronic artists bridging the gaps between jazz, funk, afrobeat, world beat, hip hop – a sure-fire dancefloor burner. The headlining band also features a few local New Orleans heroes. Check the details…
