Probably worth the sweat, in our jazzbo opinions: the 6th Annual Satchmo Club Strut, the musical club crawl down Frenchmen Street on Friday, August 4, 2006, in the city of Noo Wallins.
The 'Strut' kicks off the weekend long Satchmo Summerfest, says event producer Jason Patterson. It celebrates Louis Armstrong and jazz in all its forms. The Club Strut serves as both a fundraiser for non-profit jazz outreach programs and a promotional vehicle for the music community's rebuilding efforts.
This year's Stachmo Summerfest line up includes Ellis Marsalis, shellman & trombone master Steve Turre, sax legend Frank Morgan, New Orleans trumpet legend Lionel Ferbos, Troy 'Trombone Shorty' Andrews, Kermit Ruffins, Davell Crawford, Astral Project, the New Orleans Nightcrawlers Brass Band, the Charmaine Neville Band, Hot Club of New Orleans, Yoshio Tayama & the Dixie Saints (Japan) and many more. The New Orleans Musicians Clinic, JazzTimes Magazine, Sauza Tequila, Abita Beer and Louisiana Music Factory are sponsors.
