This isn’t just another gala, it’s Storyville resurrected, and you won’t want to miss it.

This year’s Improvisations Gala celebrates the legendary Storyville, New Orleans’ most infamous neighborhood, where music, nightlife, and culture collided at the turn of the 20th century. Though best known as the city’s red-light district, Storyville was also pivotal to the New Orleans sound, where musicians like Jelly Roll Morton, Buddy Bolden, and King Oliver shaped and improvised to carry the music to new audiences. 

For one night only, the Jazz Museum transforms into a living Storyville. Guests will experience multiple stages of live performances, burlesque, gaming, and interactive activities that blend the history of New Orleans with today’s vibrant music scene.

Event Features performances by artists such as Dee Dee Bridgewater! Detroit Brooks! James Andrews & the Crescent City All Stars! Kermit Ruffins! Tubba Skinny and more!
