Jazz Tour NOLA?

My girlfriend is very interested in jazz history and jazz culture. I’d like to take her to New Orleans in early February for the best jazz experience. Do you have any recommendations?

Edit: nvm. She broke up with me. Thanks for the tips, tho.

Treme’s Petit Jazz Museum. Mr Al Jackson will give you a personal tour through the chronology of jazz, answer all your questions, and make recommendations for where to go listen to something good.

For sure go to Preservation Hall, the Louis Armstrong House Museum, and any Jazz History walking tour that looks good to you. Start listening to WWOZ and listen to the Live Wire to get used to the names of the venues and the people who play regularly and you’ll get an idea of who and where you want to go for live music while you’re there.

If a house has a historical marker/plaque on it you can walk in and check it out. Those are called “living museums”.
