Old Point Bar is very excited to have Marlon Jordan entertain our patrons on Saturday, July 4th, 2009 from 5:00 pm to 8:00 pm. Join Marlon as he serves Hot Jazz as well as a sizzling dish of Shrimp Creole made in the tradition of his family through several generations. Between sets, Marlon will spend time on the grill preparing barbecued oysters and grilled fish. On the West bank of the River at 545 Patterson, Old Point Bar is located in historic Algiers Point, New Orleans just minutes from the French Quarter by ferry. It’s the perfect place to watch the fireworks.

Jordan’s concert “Summer Vibes In Colorado” from the Glenwood Springs Summer of Jazz Festival is currently available online at NPR’s JazzSet with Dee Dee Bridgewater. His last album, Marlon Jordan featuring Stephanie Jordan: You Don’t Know What Love Is, announced the return of an exceptional trumpeter.
