New Orleans gave jazz to the world, and the French Quarter still echoes with brass bands pouring from Preservation Hall and the Spotted Cat on Frenchmen Street. Tipitina's carries the funk and soul lineage of Professor Longhair into the present, while second line parades roll through Treme without warning. From the Maple Leaf Bar's weekly brass band residency to late night bounce sets in the Marigny, the Crescent City treats music as public conversation.
