The Jazz Voyager

The Jazz Voyager is in the Big Easy to settle into some jazz and Creole cooking at Snug Harbor, located just outside the French Quarter in the Faubourg Marigny section of New Orleans, Louisiana at 626 Frenchmen Street, 70116. Hosting noted local and national jazz musicians and vocalists, the jazz bistro remains a premier venue within the regional jazz scene.

The club was started by Glenn Menish in 1983 and later sold to George Brumat, who owned the club until 2007, when he died of an apparent heart attack at the age of 63. While the club was not flooded, Hurricane Katrina forced a temporary closure, but reopened October 14, 2005.

Tomorrow night, the jazz bistro will propel my senses as I enjoy the talents of patriarch pianist Ellis Marsalis along with his quintet while feasting on fried calamari and mushrooms, salad, grilled salmon, rice marigny and steamed vegetables. The music cover is $40.00 plus dinner. Shows are 8:00 pm & 10:00 pm and reservations may be made at 504.949.0696.
