Panorama Jazz Band at Gasa Gasa 10PM
Local favorites Panorama Jazz Band take to the stage at Gasa Gasa tonight for their weekly Monday gig. Though jazz is in their name, they encompass so much more than that, bringing in Eastern European, klezmer, and Creole influences, as well. This group brings the party with charismatic front man Ben Schenck. One of my favorite Mardi Gras memories of all time is running into them on Frenchmen Street in 2012, where they played and danced with the crowd for hours.
