Pianist Tom McDermott—a St. Louis-born New Orleans transplant whose mastery spans ragtime, traditional jazz, Brazilian choros and funk — brings his deep roots in the Crescent City's musical heritage and his ever-curious stylistic explorations. Complementing him is clarinetist and saxophonist Susanne Ortner, a German-born composer based in New Orleans, whose refined technique navigates jazz, classical and world traditions. Together they blend tradition with innovation, offering a rich musical conversation that combines playful spontaneity and emotional depth. Don’t miss this chance to hear McDermott & Ortner in harmony—each voice distinct, together unforgettable. Doors: 4:30 pm Show: 5 - 6 pm Snug Harbor Jazz Bistro presents live weekly concerts.
