Kevin has been the most amazing host! He's a fantastic musician, knows every band in town, he organized an amazing line up for us that we could not have experienced without his help. He was also funny, very thoughtful, it was our best night in NO!

Kevin was an incredible host for the evening and made for a wonderful time! He I'd so immersed within the NOLA jazz scene that every place we went to felt like home to him and we were treated like royalty. Kevin made for an amazing night and I couldn't recommend doing this any more than saying it was the highlight of our trip! So cool to experience New Orleans with a local legend!

Our guide was outstanding: very likable, easy going, and focused on us having an excellent time. The evening was well organized and a great way to experience the jazz scene with no stress. I would book the tour again in a heartbeat.

This is truly worthy of being called both VIP and behind the scenes. At every venue we went to, we were brought to excellent seats, treated as VIP's by the staff and servers, and got to meet the performers from every band we listened to that evening. Kevin was amazing as a host, answering all of our questions patiently and even went on stage to play some songs. There are few ways I can think of to better spend a night in New Orleans.

This was absolutely the highlight of our anniversary trip to New Orleans. Kevin is a gracious and knowledgeable host as well as a terrific musician. He brings you right inside the jazz scene, intimate clubs where you get to meet the players. At our final stop we got to hear Kevin and friends in an informal jam session. If you love jazz, this experience is a MUST DO when you visit New Orleans.

Was highlight of our trip to NOLA! We arranged this tour as a gift to a friend who is a keyboard player and he was totally blown away. He can't stop talking about how special it was. Kevin is a wonderful musician and it was a treat to hear him play with the band at each venue. The three venues were all very unique and different which gave us insight into the many layers of music happening in New Orleans on any given night. As an interesting aside one of the keyboard players Kevin suggested, who we went to see the next night ended up playing on the Legendary Rhythm and Blues cruise where we were the following week. The night was really fantastic and Kevin was informative and fun to be with. If you love music and like to be close to the musicians then this is the tour for you!

Kevin made our trip unforgettable!! Our group was in New Orleans for my wife’s 40th birthday and his jazz experience was the highlight! The only recommendation I would give is to have Kevin take you around early in your time in NOLA so you can go back and enjoy the spots he introduced!

This was such an amazing experience!!! Kevin is an amazing musician and host!! Most definitely the highlight of our New Orleans experience. Complete VIP treatment in the locations he takes you to and incredibly talented people you meet along the way. For my fellow Canadians....he is very Canadian friendly with contributions to our jazz community. This is such a great tour!!!

This tour was the highlight of our trip to New Orleans. Our "guide" Kevin Clark, is a star himself of the local Jazz scene. We were a party of seven, and we had a spectacular evening.
