Presented by the Hobby Center for the Performing Arts and Jazz Houston
Celebrate the holiday season in true Gulf Coast style with Jazz Houston’s Bayou City–Crescent City Christmas, bringing together the powerhouse Jazz Houston Orchestra led by Vincent Gardner along with special guests, New Orleans’ own Doreen Ketchens and Herlin Riley. This high-energy performance fuses the signature funk and second-line spirit of New Orleans with the rich groove and big band brilliance of Houston. From soulful holiday classics to foot-stomping Crescent City favorites, the evening captures the warmth, joy, and rhythmic fire of two legendary musical cities.
It’s a bold, brass-filled celebration of the season where bayou meets boulevard and tradition meets swing.
