NEW ORLEANS Will Bernard and the Hot Eight Brass Band sat in with Garage A Trois last night aboard the Riverboat Cajun Queen. Bernard (guitar) joined the band in the second set for a lengthy jam that segued into a drum solo. The Hot Eight Brass Band, which also performed on the ships deck during setbreak, then took the stage for more improvisation.
Garage A Trois features Stanton Moore (drums), Charlie Hunter (8-string guitar) and Skerik (saxophone). Mike Dillion (xylophone, percussion) has also been performing with the group as of late.
The band plays tonight at Tipitinas in New Orleans.
