Hosted by New Orleans native and Jazz at Lincoln Center director Wynton Marsalis, this lively and entertaining concert at the Ernest G. Morial Convention Center in New Orleans explains the history of New Orleans Jazz through a combination of lecture and performance by Marsalis and his band. The children stomp their feet, clap along and sing as they learn about second-lining, improvisation, riffs and how a rhythm section works. The Jazz for Young People series was created in 1992 and is part of an extensive outreach program to help educate American children about their music. Highlights include performances of "Audubon Zoo" ("They All Asked for You"), "My Bucket's Got a Hole in It" and "St. Louis Blues."
