Street parade for a festive celebration of the 30th anniversary of the jazz festival

After warming up in the streets, the local New Orleans street parade hits the Bispejazz tent with funky beats and starts a party on Bispetorvet for the official opening of the 30th annual Aarhus Jazz Festival.

During recent years, a new generation of New Orleans-fan-musicians has appeared in Aarhus. A group of them - young, old, and those that can't decide but love New Orleans music and the syncopated beats - form this street parade under the leadership of Scott Westh.

The instrumentation consists of the classic format of two trumpets, two trombones, a sousaphone, and a batterie made up of a snare and bass drum.

The band, which is the Second Line in the festive street parade, encourages audiences to grab an umbrella and join the dance in front of the parade as a First Line, both on stage and when walking from Bispetorvet to Klostertorvet.
