Being eclectic is all well and good, but there's something to be said for a city dominated by one or two styles of music; NOLA is that city. The germ of Dixieland jazz that eventually spread to other major US metros first incubated here, and jazz and the blues are inextricably interwoven throughout the life of the city. How interwoven? Well, the idea of the "jazz funeral" was born here, where procession members celebrate the life of the departed through song and dance, and the brass band tradition born in neighborhoods like Trem� is still very much alive these days.

Modern jazz greats like Wynton Marsalis and Kermit Ruffins hail from the Crescent City, and the famous Preservation Hall keeps the tradition alive through riveting nightly performances by locals, touring musicians, and the Preservation Hall Jazz Band. Still, you can hit up venues like Tipitina's and Siberia for live performances outside of NOLA's iconic jazz scene.
