The Derek Douget Band

Accomplished saxophonist Derek Douget, who’s served as Music Director of the Brubeck Circle Residency since 2018, returns to the Lobero stage for an electrifying performance not to be missed. The artist, who finely mixes his Louisiana upbringing with his strong individualism and idiosyncratic voice, has worked with countless A-list jazz musicians throughout his career, such as Ellis Marsalis, Nicolas Payton, Dr. John, Terence Blanchard, Allen Toussaint, Branford Marsalis, and more.
Douget’s stellar band of world-renowned jazz musicians includes GRAMMY® Award-winner Victor “Red” Atkins, Trumpet Mafia leader Ashlin Parker (GRAMMY® Award-winner with New Orleans Jazz Orchestra), Jason Stewart (Ellis Marsalis Trio, Quartet, and Quintet), and GRAMMY® Award-winning artist Adonis Rose (Artistic Director of New Orleans Jazz Orchestra).
As one of Downbeat magazine’s Top Jazz Venues for more than a decade, the Lobero sits in a unique position to support future generations of jazz musicians. The Brubeck Jazz Residency Program consists of twelve hands-on workshops with more than 350 students in just five days. There will also be a student “jam session” open to all jazz music students from schools county-wide, followed by a public performance on the Lobero stage, for which all students are offered complimentary tickets. The true benefit of visiting the same schools with the same artists year-after-year is that we are building relationships and can follow the progress of the most engaged students.
