Wednesday Night in the Faubourg Marigny

Jazz Fest ended less than a week ago. It was Wednesday night. We figured it would be fairly calm on Frenchman Street, home to dozens of music clubs. But we were wrong.


We saw the Lazy Boys, a funk jazz band, at Vaso. Then we headed over to the Apple Barrel and listened to Andre Bouvier and the Royal Bohemians, complete with a woman playing the washboard. Both bands were terrific and the bars were crowded, though I'm sure this weekend the clubs will be packed. 


But the most energetic crowd of the night was gathered in the street as we headed home. You can see what it was like with a couple of minutes of video that J captured.
