Lonnie Smith, Shannon Powell, Alexey Marti & more to appear at UNO’s concert series

Sponsored in part by OffBeat, University of New Orleans’ (UNO) Jazz at the Sandbar concert series has announced the details of its Spring 2019 lineup.

Held at the Cove on UNO’s campus, the series provides Jazz Studies students the opportunity to perform with world-class, professional musicians in front of a live audience. Ellis Marsalis founded the weekly Wednesday evening affair in 1990, and it remains a keystone in his legacy as the first Chairman of the Jazz Studies Program at UNO.

The lineup and schedule for Spring 2019 is:

March 13: Drummer Shannon Powell
March 20: Vibraphonist Chuck Redd
March 27: Percussionist Alexey Marti
April 3: Singer Kurt Elling
April 10: Singer Sasha Masakowski
April 17: Trumpeter Kevin Louis
April 24: Organist Dr. Lonnie Smith
May 1: Guitarist Peter Bernstein

Admission to the concerts is free to the University of New Orleans community with proper ID. Otherwise, there is a $10 suggested donation for the general public. UNO’s The Cove is located at Founders Road, 2000 Lakeshore Dr.
