One often hears the phrase: “New Orleans: the birthplace of jazz” and there’s a plenty of reasons that support that.  What sometimes gets lost in all of it is the ongoing jazz scene in the city, from brass ensembles to more progressive forms. Today’s program is a peek into the more progressive side, featuring the Rob Wagner Trio with Rob Wagner on saxophone, James Alsanders on Drums and Jesse Morrow on Bass, recorded at Snug Harbor in the fall of 2011. We also stop by the Neutral Ground, New Orleans oldest Coffeehouse which also facilitates live music.
