Celebrate brass band traditions at the Old US Mint on Thursday, August 18 from 2-3p for a reunion performance by an all-star cast of brass band musicians featured in the book Talk That Music Talk: Passing On Brass Band Music in New Orleans The Traditional Way.

Musicians scheduled to perform include Benny Jones, Sr., Kenny Terry, Woody Penouilh, Will Smith, Roger Lewis, Oscar Washington, Terrance Taplin, Will Hightower, Doyle Red Cooper (son of WWOZ's Tuesday morning Trad Jazz show host Leslie Cooper), and John Michael Bradford. Many older musicians will be reunited with younger musicians who they mentored through the Music for All Ages (MFAA) program developed by the New Orleans Jazz National Historical Park, and who had important impacts on their musical development.
