‘Jazz at the Sandbar’ was established in 1990 by Ellis Marsalis, the first Chairman of the Jazz Studies Program at the University of New Orleans. The Jazz at the Sandbar performances are designed to provide UNO Jazz Studies students an opportunity to get real life experience performing with professional musicians in front of a live audience. The series is presented on Wednesday nights during the Fall and Spring semesters and features a different respected jazz artist each week. It also provides a medium in which students exercise their improvisational skills and gives them the rare opportunity to work with jazz masters which have included Marcus Roberts, Ravi Coltrane and Nicholas Payton. Downbeat Magazine has declared “Jazz at the Sandbar Series is one of the best things going in America.”
