Arrowhead Jazz Band

The Arrowhead Jazz Band is anchored by New Orleans Jazz National Historical Park Rangers Jade Perdue (vocals/keyboards), Kerry Lewis, Sr. (bass), Matt Hampsey (guitar), and Intern Saskia Walker (vocals).

Doyle Cooper

Doyle “Red” Cooper took up the trumpet at age 10; by the time he turned 30 he’d played the Jazzfest nearly 50 times. Today he is a fixture on the trad jazz scene, playing trumpet or tuba, in his own Doyle Cooper Jazz Band or with the Storyville Stompers, the Red Hot Brass Band, and SOUL Brass Band.

They will be joined by local musicians Tim Brown, II (vibraphone) and Simon Lott (drums).
