A little bit of Louisiana is coming to Liverpool with a New Orleans jazz experience

A New Orleans jazz experience is on its way to the city, bringing a little bit of Louisiana to Liverpool.

We Call It Jazz: Journey Through the Heart of New Orleans is a new music evening coming to the Baltic Triangle – and organisers say it will give audiences the chance to soak up the soul of the ‘Crescent City’ without moving away from Merseyside.

After selling out in London, there will be four shows in Liverpool, on Saturday, June 28, and Friday, July 11.

The event has been created by entertainment platform Fever who earlier this month brought interactive courtroom drama The Jury Experience to the city, but this time audiences will be transported through the history of jazz, from its street-corner roots to its worldwide influence.

Musicians will take centre stage for an hour, blending structured arrangements with free-flowing improvisation – the essence of jazz.

And guests at District will be seated at tables where they can order cocktails and totally immerse themselves in the music and atmosphere, with each experience, says Fever, a unique performance.

“Fever’s mission is to make culture and entertainment more accessible, and this experience stands out for being thoughtfully created for everyone, from those new to jazz and looking for an introduction to it, to seasoned jazz enthusiasts seeking a band of exceptional skill and impressive improvisation,” says Maria Moro, project manager at Fever.

“The band doesn’t just perform; they also share the rich history of jazz, offering insightful commentary and weaving in fascinating anecdotes about the pieces they’re performing. Some of these facts even surprise the most passionate jazz lovers!

“It’s this combination of storytelling, musicianship, and approachable performance that makes the show accessible to a wide range of audiences, while still remaining a deeply authentic jazz experience.”

Maria says the setlist is diverse, with heartfelt songs and lively, upbeat numbers that the audience can dance and sing along to.

And she adds: “We curate an atmosphere that complements the music. With an intimate, candlelit ambiance and cabaret-style seating, the setting enhances the performance, while offering standing space for those who want to engage more closely with the show too.”

With two shows coming to Liverpool in such a short space of time, Fever has made its love of the city clear.

“It’s a dynamic and culturally rich hub,” says Maria, “and we’re eager to expand our experiences in the city and contribute to the vibrant live entertainment scene.

“Bringing We Call It Jazz to the heart of the Baltic Triangle feels like a natural fit, as it gives locals a taste of an authentic New Orleans experience, while also aligning with the city’s arts scene.”

Tickets start from £18 and can be booked here.
