Just a couple of weeks earlier, the streets were packed with revelers celebrating the month-long Carnival season that culminated in Mardi Gras at the end of February. But as more was learned about the alarming spread of the COVID-19 virus, the mayor issued a stay-at-home order to try and contain the dire consequences of the super spreader event. For the thousands of musicians who make their living playing gigs in a city famous for its round-the-clock, jazz-centric music scene, the eerie silence was disconcerting. Sammie Williams, AKA “Big Sam,” lead singer with the funk band Big Sam’s Funky Nation, said bluntly that the famous French Quarter “sounded like death.” By Experience Columbia SC Advertiser Content 1/9 A girls' getaway in Columbia, South Carolina “People who were around during Katrina, they know what I mean,” Williams said, referring to the category 5 hurricane that swept through the city in 2005, killing 1,400 people. “There was no life in the city at all. It felt like the world was ending.” But the world didn’t end. New Orleans is resilient, as are the musicians who live and work here. During COVID-19, many found creative ways to safely keep live music going, sometimes staging impromptu jam sessions in their driveways just to preserve their own sanity. ADVERTISING But as the pandemic subsides and restrictions ease, live music is gradually returning to the usual venues. That’s something to celebrate, and celebrating is what New Orleans does best. 2/9 Credit: Wesley K.H. Teo One recent morning, trumpeter Amir “Tubad” Gray played “What a Wonderful World” across from Café Beignet on Royal Street, entertaining a long line of caffeine-deprived customers waiting for their first sip of creamy café au lait and a breakfast of pillowy beignets. City guidelines for live entertainment require wind instrument players use bell covers, a kind of instrument mask that blocks aerosol droplets. Some horn players don’t like it, but Tubad doesn’t mind. He’s simply happy to be “spreading joy” again. “I’ve never seen Bourbon Street clean, but it was clean,” he said about the pandemic’s effect on the city’s most famous street, where plastic cups typically roll like tumbleweeds and discarded Mardi Gras beads glow garishly from the gutters all year long. 3/9 Now, the French Quarter sounds much like it did pre-pandemic with buskers playing everything from the tuba to the banjo hoping to rustle up tips. But despite its devil-may-care reputation, New Orleans is serious about COVID-19 safety. Louisiana is one of the few Southern states that still has a mask mandate. City bars are open at 50% capacity indoors and full capacity outdoors. Restaurants are open at 75% capacity, and alcohol sales end at 1 a.m. Credit: Wesley K.H. Teo On Frenchmen Street on the outskirts of the Quarter, where locals go to hear live music, many venues remain closed because they are so small, social distancing is impossible. A notable exception is the renowned Spotted Cat Music Club, which just reopened for scheduled performances. Safety precautions include sanitizing the venue between shows, a ban on bar service and a request that patronsinform staff when they require restroom access so they can be alerted when facilities become available. As for Big Sam, he’s back rockin’ one of his favorite venues, The Jazz Playhouse at the Royal Sonesta Hotel in the French Quarter. Wearing dark glasses and a newsboy hat, he belted out a jazzy version of “Papa was a Rolling Stone” on his first night back at the Playhouse. The performance was a musical renaissance of sorts ― a new beginning that marked the end of a long, dark period. Throughout the night, Big Sam showcased his considerable chops with a series of trombone solos, deftly coaxing the instrument into sassy grooves that got folks on their feet. During the worst of the pandemic, he played in the hotel’s courtyard or on the pool deck, but he missed the connection he enjoys with the audience indoors.
