Very atmospheric, but only about 45 minutes of a performance which was disappointing. Better options for jazz in New Orleans, would recommend Mahogany Jazz club as a much better choiceFull review by Sharon K

Our experience was probably more like 3.7 stars, but I will round to 4. Jazz is so associated with New Orleans, and the venue has a lot of a historical and cultural significance. And so we are glad…Full review by SeattleSunDevil
Hi, how is seating arrangement in this Covid time? Roughly how many people are in the audience? Do they required the audience to wear masks?

They do require masks currently. And the seats are just old wooden benches without backs. They limit the number of people that can attend each concert but you are literally sitting right beside someone on a bench.

It looks like the all stars is the one I’ve seen both times. It is an authentic listen to jazz evening you won’t soon forget. Totally worth the $20 and more.

There are four to six rows of bench seats and then a row or two of “seats” on pillows on the floor in the front. You can actually see exactly how many physical seats there are by going to the PH website and act like you’re booking the Big Shot tickets...you’ll get to pick your seats. You don’t have to buy; you can just see the seating chart that way.
