Leroy Jones – trumpet, Olaf Polzien – piano, Bob Culverhouse – double bass, Trevor Richards – drums The Palace of Arts is now presenting the New Orleans Swing festival for the fourth time, and thanks to its distinguished American and European performers, has developed into one of the region’s most important traditional jazz festivals. One of the finest representatives of authentic Louisiana style is guest star trumpeter and band leader Leroy Jones. He is celebrating his fiftieth birthday this year and arrives direct from New Orleans. During the course of his career, he has worked with such stars as Danny Barker, Harry Connick Jr and the Preservation Hall Jazz Band. He has led his own bands since the early nineties and on this occasion he will be accompanied by the Polzien–Culverhouse–Richards trio. Two years ago, drummer Trevor Richards and his band were the guests at the Palace of Arts.
