THE JAZZ SERIES IS BACK

The 1870’s planted a fertile ground for creative expression. Not only did José Lobero open the first legitimate theater/opera house in Santa Barbara, but the historic birth of jazz also materialized during that timeframe in New Orleans. Throughout the years, the Lobero Theatre has provided a stage for some of the world’s finest performers – a platform for creative musicians of diverse backgrounds.

Bringing together an eclectic group of artists, Jazz at Lobero remains a common thread that links jazz to our community. With our exciting 150th Anniversary upon us, we are thrilled to welcome back some of our longtime favorites.

Our Ovation Celebration also coincides with GRAMMY® Award-winner Charles Lloyd’s 85th Birthday. One of the world’s most renowned saxophone players, Lloyd has performed more on the Lobero stage than any other single artist, and even recorded his memorable album 8: Kindred Spirits (Live from the Lobero) here.

From the heart of the French Quarter to the world’s stage, the Preservation Hall Jazz Band has spread the joyful, timeless spirit of true New Orleans jazz since 1961. The band has featured a long cadre of legendary musicians over the years and issued a number of albums, all of which showcase the group’s rootsy, soulful brand of traditional New Orleans jazz. While standards and traditional New Orleans jazz repertoire remain their core focus, they’ve transformed into a vibrantly cross-pollinated ambassador for New Orleans, exploring original compositions, Afro-Cuban rhythms, R&B influences, and collaborating with artists beyond the jazz spectrum. The Preservation Jazz Band is now embarking on the nationwide tour Pass It On – 60th Anniversary Musical Celebration, commemorating six decades of the Hall’s well-worn, well-loved space that’s physically small, but spiritually huge. Current band members include Branden Lewis (trumpet), Clint Maedgen (saxophone), Kerry Lewis (bass), Kyle Roussel (piano), Revon Andrews (trombone), Glen Andrews (drums). Their mission remains focused on initiating audiences into the ineffable, almost religious experience of channeling their ancestors through the music and culture they’ve inherited from them.
