Players Ella & Louie Tribute Band is the brainchild of veteran bassist Mitchell Player, who has toured the world with the Preservation Hall Jazz Band and others, and is a regular on the tad jazz scene. The Players Ella and Louis Tribute offers an homage to the enduring music of Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald, such as “Let’s Call the Whole Thing Off.” The band also includes Eileina Dennis on vocals and a cast of all-star jazz musicians that has included trumpeters Leon “Kid Chocolate” Brown and Wendell Brunious and drummer Gerald French. The band has performed in Brazil, Switzerland, and at home at the French Quarter Festival, SatchmoFest, and at the Nickel-A-Dance Sunday afternoon series on Frenchmen Street.
