Another Night in Treme Dr. John and the Lower 911 Soul Rebels with special guests Ivan Neville, Leo Nocentelli and Zigaboo Modeliste

New Orleans music legends and stars of the blockbuster HBO series Treme bring to SFJAZZ another rollicking night of Crescent City sounds! Created by David Simon and Eric Overmyer, who gained fame with The Wire, the acclaimed program paints a true-to-life portrait of the Tremé neighborhood in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, focusing specifically on the musicians who are fundamental to the area’s identity. The destruction wrought by Katrina has been the city’s gravest challenge and its musicians have answered the call by joining forces to preserve New Orleans culture, while reminding the nation what’s at stake. Within weeks of the floodwaters receding, an all-star collection of artists gathered to form the ad hoc New Orleans Social Club, releasing Sing Me Back Home, the lavishly praised 2006 album. Another Night In Treme will feature a cast of legendary New Orleans artists distilled from the NOSC, and others, from the vibrant musical patchwork that defines the Big Easy. Stay tuned for an upcoming announcement about the artist roster, but remember, our first A Night in Treme show in 2011 sold out and tickets will move quickly.
