Knowing that sightseeing during NOLA's toasty summer days can be exhausting, we invite you to embark on a musical adventure with us and immerse in the city's distinct music culture, as day turns to night. Introducing Rhythm & Roots: A Historic Jazz Crawl.
A Musical History Told by Musicians
This one-of-a-kind private walking tour curated for guests of The Roosevelt New Orleans was designed in collaboration with local culture operators, Big Easy Walking Tours. Led by founder Quay Frazier and his team of NOLA Jazz musicians who double as experienced guides, on this bespoke tour, guests can learn about New Orleans' deeply rooted music history and culture, mirroring The Roosevelt's rich musical heritage.
From the Blue Room to the French Quarter
Perfect for experiencing the best of the Big Easy after the sun sets, the three-hour experience will take music-lovers on a sensorial journey via live jazz at top venues, a music history masterclass, and of course, the perfect accompaniment to Jazz, a classic New Orleans cocktail. The tour kicks off with special stories citing The Roosevelt's unique musical past. From there, step out onto the scene with visits to key French Quarter jazz music venues and sites. Along the way, guests will learn about and experience first-hand why New Orleans is not only the birthplace of Jazz, but also its heart and soul.
