New Orleans Jazz Orchestra x Ledisi: Headliners at St. Lucia Jazz Festival
Project type
Festival Performance Videography & Behind-the-Scenes Storytelling
Date
2019
Location
St Lucia
There’s nothing quite like the energy before a big show, and capturing those raw, unfiltered moments is what makes this project so special. As headliners of the St. Lucia Jazz Festival, the New Orleans Jazz Orchestra (NOJO), led by Grammy Award-winning Adonis Rose, took the stage in an electrifying performance featuring the incomparable Grammy Award-Winner, Ledisi. From the camaraderie during soundcheck to the explosive finale, this project is a vibrant look at the magic of live jazz in one of the most breathtaking festival locations in the world.
Key Contributions:
Pre-Show Energy & Behind-the-Scenes Photography
Captured the excitement before the big show, documenting casual moments of band members laughing, rehearsing, and preparing for their performance.
Shot stunning imagery of soundcheck, where musicians fine-tuned their craft in the warm glow of the Caribbean sun.
Live Performance Videography & Photography
Filmed a 1-minute social media highlight reel and a 4-minute long-form video that blend dynamic performance footage with intimate backstage moments.
Captured Ledisi’s powerhouse vocals as she brought the house down, delivering a show-stopping performance that left the crowd in awe.
The New Orleans-Style Encore
NOJO closed the night with a classic second line march, a signature New Orleans sendoff where the band faked the finale, then reemerged with instruments blazing—marching through the audience, dancing, and leading the crowd down the street in true jazz tradition.
The energy was electric, the moment completely unscripted, and the audience couldn't get enough!
