Sweet Lorraine's Jazz Club

The Club is based in the Tremé community which lays claim to its rightful place in the beginnings of Jazz; this thin-stripped area became famous as hallowed grounds of greats such as Sidney Bechet, “Jelly Role” Morton, and Louis “Satchmo” Armstrong. That tradition is being carried out by a new generation of Tremé jazz musicians such as Kermit Ruffins, James Andrews, Glenn David Andrews and Troy “Trombone Shorty” Andrews, and others.
The Club has hosted the likes of Roy Ayers, Pieces of a Dream, Deacon Jones, Pharoah Sanders, Angela Bofill, Garto Barbierl, Wes Anderson, Lonnie Liston Smith, the Marsalis Family, Donald Harrison, Nicholas Payton, and a host of others. Paul adds that “By continuing to showcase Live Jazz, Sweet Lorraine’s pay tribute to the only true indigenous American art form. This classic American music has its genetic marker undeniably anchored in this historic community.”
