Capital Garage Celebrates it's 4th Year of Jamming

The musicians who play at Capital Garage celebrated their 4th year of weekly open jazz jam sessions. I was excited to take some shots and it was a lot of fun watching the original house band play with some of the newer musicians. Everyone sounded great and it was so much fun to photograph.

New Orleans Brass Band - Mardis Gras 2011

I'm very lucky to live within a few blocks of a wonderful little bar that offers live jazz. I'm also very lucky to know most of the musicians performing there often. For this year's Mardi Gras Cole and I walked to the bar where he'd be playing beer bottle for a friend's brass band. The band was absolutely amazing, very energetic. They made me feel like I was in New Orleans, which is probably what they were going for...

Anyone hire a beer bottle player?
