"I had the most incredible experience on Harris Parson's NOLA JAZZ tour! His passion for jazz and the city of New Orleans truly shines through in every aspect of the tour. Harris is not only knowledgeable but also engaging and entertaining, making the tour both educational and fun. The music, the history, the atmosphere - everything was just perfect. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for an authentic and unforgettable jazz experience in New Orleans. Thank you, Harris, for an amazing time!"

Find some great Jazz venues - When did a good job talking about the history of jazz and New Orleans and walked us around the French Quarter. We finished in a bar with a cocktail and listening to some fabulous jazz. She then pointed out some other great venues in that area.
