This Halloween, the Apollo Theater brings the spirit of New Orleans to Harlem with The New Orleans Jazz Masquerade.
The weekend-long celebration of events will include a special Mainstage concert with Irvin Mayfield Jr., legendary jazz vocalist Dee Dee Bridgewater and the New Orleans Jazz Orchestra in the New York concert premiere of Bridgewater’s and Mayfield’s new album, Dee Dee’s Feathers. The masquerade-themed concert will be followed by an after party as part of Apollo Music Café in the Theater’s Soundstage and will feature the New Orleans Go-Go brass funk band The Brass-A-Holics.
The weekend will also include a special Apollo Music Café on that Friday night curated and hosted by Bridgewater and featuring Irvin Mayfield and the New Orleans Jazz Orchestra with up-and-coming young female jazz vocalists, including Jazzmeia Horn, Camille Thurman and Glorious. Other scheduled activities as part of the weekend will feature education and cultural activities for families and children, including: an afternoon workshop of mask and music making with designer Vicki Fremont and musician Kevin Hylton; a traditional New Orleans second line as part of the Apollo Education Family Workshop series and an Apollo School Day Live for school children, hosted by Dee Dee Bridgewater and Irvin Mayfield.
