On Saturday, May 1, at 7 p.m., guests will enjoy a screening of Dan Pritzker’s film
Bolden on the grounds of the New Orleans Jazz Museum following a performance by Calvin Johnson and a Q&A session about the movie. Admission is $50 and includes an open bar by Seven Three Distilling Co and catering by Bywater Bakery.
