UNO Jazz at the Sandbar has returned for Spring 2021. OffBeat’s Best of the Beat winner for Best Emerging Artist, Mahmoud Chouki, is slated to play.
The late Ellis Marsalis, the first Chairman of the Jazz Studies Program at the University of New Orleans, established “Jazz at the Sandbar” in 1990. The series is designed to provide UNO Jazz Studies students an opportunity to get real-life experience performing with respected professional musicians in front of a live audience. The series is presented during the fall and spring semesters on Wednesday nights and features a different respected jazz artist each week. While currently not being performed in person, the series still provides a medium in which students exercise their improvisational skills and gives them the rare opportunity to work with jazz masters.

MONTICELLO â Hollywood has its sights set using the Monticello area as a location for a camp slasher horror film later this year.
The film, titled âTin Roof,â features actor/writer Rob Mello (âHappy Death Dayâ) and producer/director/actor Rebecca Rinehart (âCarousHELL the 2ndâ). Itâs described by Mello as âa brand new slasher film that takes fear back to the woods.â
The film will be Rinehartâs second directorial effort while it will be Melloâs first feature-length screenplay. The pair previously teamed up to develop a film titled, âThe Embalmers,â which is currently in post-production.
