Steamboat Stomp
Blowin' on the river
Steamboat Natchez New Orleans, Louisiana
In the words of Jelly Roll Morton: "Man, c'mon, let's catch that boat!" Steamboats have had more of an impact on jazz than most realize, having provided a venue for greats like Morton, Armstrong, and others to meander up the Mississippi and perform for audiences in cities such as St. Louis and Chicago. Steamboat Stomp is a festival celebrating and preserving this early history of jazz on the river, inviting guests to enjoy performances by some of the city's most talented Dixieland jazz artists on one of the last remaining authentic steamboats in the country, Steamboat Natchez. steamboatstompneworleans.com
