Mayfield is a versatile trumpeter, bandleader, cem- poser and arranger, recording artist, a passionate spokesman for the rich history and cultural significance of Jazz and the city that birthed it. Appointed the Cultural Ambassado r of the City of New Orleans in 2003 by the United States Senate, Congress and other governmental agencies, his name has become synonymous with the still-unfolding legacy of America's only indigenous music. Even after Katrina-especially after Katrina, which took the life of his father, Irvin Mayfield, Sr.-this tireless Renaissance man considers Jazz nothing less than the manifestation of all that American democracy represents .

  • Louisiana MUSIC: Then & Now
    SPECIAL ADVERTISING SECTION LOUISIANA MUSIC: THEN & NOW If a rich history and world-acclaimed cuisine are the head and heart of Louisiana, music is its collective soul. The music of Louisiana meanders through generations of history carrying melodies of dreams, hope, lament and the boundless spirit of one of the most diverse populations in America. Signature Louisiana sounds can be found throughout the state, in both urban centers and rural countrysides. From grand concert halls to obscure roadside honky-tonks, travelers find a rich, abundant musical legacy that is distinctly and unmistakably Louisiana. The offerings are varied, from the state’s indigenous jazz, Cajun and zydeco music to its musicians’ notable contributions to the history and evolution of American blues, country and rock n’ roll. All carry a common denominator that could be summed up by what Louisiana residents call joie de vivre, or the joy of life. The coming year marks a statewide celebration of Louisiana music. Throughout 2013, notable artists, state tourism industry officials, national music industry stakeholders and Louisiana residents will join hands to acknowledge the state’s contributions to the soul of America. Read on to feel the rhythm of Louisiana. SPECIAL ADVERTISING SECTION SPECIAL ADVERTISING SECTION SMOOTH JAZZ Jazz was born in New Orleans, specifically in the city’s Congo Square and the Tremé, one of the oldest neighborhoods, and first flourished in the Storyville district north of the French Quarter. It is a percussive and often improvisational fusion of European, African and Caribbean music using wind and rhythm instruments that came to prominence in the early 20th century.

  • Main Street New S
    Main Street New s THE NEWSLETTER OF THE OLD ALGIERS MAIN STREET CORPORATION SPRING 2009 Students, Masters It’s Official: Old Algiers Added to to Perform at ‘Jazz for the Ages’ State Main Street Program Old Algiers Main Street Corporation was awarded official Louisiana Main Street status in November, becoming one of six Urban Main Streets in the City of New Orleans. Lt. Gov. Mitch Landrieu is slated to make the official announcement at a news conference on March 17. Until the state developed the urban program to help the post-Katrina recovery, it did not recognize Old Algiers, although the organization had been following the Main Street principles since its inception in 1996. With the official status comes a grant of $35,000 to pay for a full-time director, travel and other operational Ellis Marsalis Nicholas Payton expenses. The grant diminishes for a period of five years after which the organization will be expected to be self-sufficient and maintain a full-time director in order to keep its official status. An additional $8000 is provided by the state for façade improvements within the program area. Michael White RiverFest™ Line Up to and George Leah Chase Herlin Riley Feature Top Jazz Artists French RiverFest™ 2009 promises to deliver the best traditional jazz and other indigenous musical forms on April 4-5 in front of the historic Algiers Courthouse, but the growing festival also offers an assortment of other activities that guarantee not only a good time, but an educational experience.
