Leroy Jones

May 20, 2016 • Trumpeter Leroy Jones was playing in New
Orleans back when Bourbon Street was lined with jazz clubs. The city has
changed since then — Bourbon Street is a prime example — and Jones has evolved
with it. From second lines with the Fairview Baptist Church Marching Band and
the Hurricane Brass Band, club gigs with modern combos and tours with Harry
Connick Jr., he's been a part of many jazz scenes. Jazz Night In America takes in a set with
Jones' sextet at the Dew Drop Social & Benevolent Jazz Hall in Mandeville,
La., across the lake from New Orleans. We hear the story of the venue, a small
wooden room which has hosted jazz performances for more than a century, and the
stories of Jones, a well-loved presence in his hometown.
