After a highly successful career with the popular group WAR, Harold Brown made his way to New Orleans where he has led efforts to position the city in the forefront of the music industry. He is considered one of the country's foremost rhythm and blues drummers. After getting the card stamped at three performances for which they paid regular price, attendees will be admitted free to the fourth. From October 23 until January 16, a related exhibition, The Jazz Age in Paris, 1914-1940, created by the Smithsonian Institution, will be on view at the Mint. The State Museum's regular display on the history of jazz in New Orleans is always on view.
Audience members are welcome to tour exhibits before or after performances.
Brochures and posters that include the complete schedule and other pertinent information are available free from the Museum. Music at the Mint is supported by the Louisiana Endowment for the Humanities, a state affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities, and a grant from the Louisiana Division of the Arts, administered through the Arts Council of New Orleans. Funding is administered through the Louisiana Museum Foundation. Pianos are provided courtesy of Werlein's for Music. Children 12 and under are free.
