Swing Into Spring

Calling all music lovers! Anticipate warmer weather by joining us for “Swing Into Spring,” an afternoon of jazz, celebrating African American History Month, featuring the outstanding talents of Northshore residents Dr. Ben Redwine, Don Vappie, and Joshua Gouzy. Joining them are New Orleanians Doyle Cooper, Henry LeBeaux, and Leslie Cooper. The concert, presented by the Northshore Traditional Music Society and made possible in part by a grant from the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Foundation, Inc., will take place 2 p.m., Sunday, February 16, 2025 at the Fuhrmann Auditorium, 317 N. Jefferson Avenue, in Covington.

The renowned musicians join their talents together for the first time to present this spectacular afternoon of musical variety. The concert will feature traditional jazz classics written by and made famous by African American musicians who created jazz, North America’s only officially recognized indigenous art form, combined with an interactive audience experience.

“The ensemble gathered for our “Swing Into Spring” concert consists of the absolutely best jazz musicians in New Orleans, with substantial international careers,” asserts Redwine, Jazz Coordinator for the Northshore Traditional Music Society. “This is a concert you will not want to miss!”
