Starting this week, the Frenchmen String Quartet will play before each Open Ears show. They do classical string quartet repertoire as well as some other interesting things, so get there early and enjoy the music. This shouldn’t affect the start times of the Open Ears shows, it will just double the amount of cool music you can hear in one night.
Killick and Helen Gillet. Unfortunately these sets did not get recorded. It’s all the trombone player’s fault. We’ll be sure to get it next time.
The Open ears debut of Dan Oestreicher’s large improvising ensemble, with special guest Rob Mazurek.

Wolter Wierbos is a marvelous trombonist from the Netherlands, and is sure to keep up the tradition of great Open Ears shows put on by visiting Dutchmen. This night will be trombone blow out night, with solo performances by Wolter, and solos, duos and more with Wolter and some of New Orleans great trombonists: Rick Trolsen, Big Sam Williams, Jeff Albert, and Mark McGrain.
Special thanks to Andy Durta for hooking us up with Wolter.
The IAC was one of the groups leading the way into the current era of cool freeness that is hitting New Orleans.
