The New Orleans Jazz Museum is proud to be sending three bandleaders as cultural ambassadors of the New Orleans jazz tradition: James Andrews, George Brown and Christie Jourdain (leader of the Original Pinettes Brass Band). Each bandleader will lead a group of Parisian musicians, the NOLA French Connection, in the interpretation of original arrangements of emblematic New Orleans classics.
In addition to musical performances, the festival will feature a screening of
City of a Million Dreams, a documentary film by Jason Berry exploring the history and cultural significance of New Orleans jazz funerals and second-line parades as well as a traveling version of the Jazz Museum's exhibit Drumsville: The Evolution of New Orleans Beat.
The New Orleans Jazz Museum is also partnering with Zella Palmer, Director and Chair of Dillard University's Ray Charles Program on African-American Material Culture, and Chef Serigne Mbaye of Dakar NOLA restaurant in organizing a culinary program designed to bring the best of New Orleans cuisine to Paris.
The Jazz Museum team is excited to showcase New Orleans music and culture to a Parisian audience and invite them to visit the Crescent City and region.

Many thanks to our friends at New Orleans & Co. and Villa Albertine for their support!
This partnership further strengthens the Jazz Museum's mission to function as a global bridge for students, artists, musicians, musical innovators, and historians.

Jazz Collection
The New Orleans Jazz Museum's collection is the largest and most comprehensive of its kind in the world.
The Jazz Collection chronicles the music and careers of the men and women who created, enhanced and continue in the tradition of New Orleans jazz at the local, national and international levels. It consists of instruments, pictorial sheet music, photographs, records, tapes, manuscripts and other items ranging from Louis Armstrong's first coronet to a 1917 disc of the first jazz recording ever made. It includes the world's largest collection of instruments owned and played by important figures in jazz- trumpets, cornets, trombones, clarinets and saxophones played by jazz greats such as Bix Beiderbecke, Edward "Kid" Ory, George Lewis, Sidney Bechet and Dizzy Gillespie.
Other artifacts in the Jazz Collection include some 12,000 photographs from the early days of jazz; recordings in a wide variety of formats, including over 4,000 78 rpm records that date from 1905 to the mid-1950s, several thousand 12-inch LPs and 45 rpm records, approximately 1,400 reel-to-reel tapes; posters, paintings and prints; hundreds of examples of sheet music from late 19th-century ragtime to popular songs of the 1940s and 1950s - many of them first editions that became jazz standards; several hundred rolls of film featuring concert and nightclub footage, funerals, parades, and festivals; hundred of pieces of relevant ephemera; and architectural fragments from important jazz venues...
