| Thursdays at Twilight | | Concert-- New Orleans Moonshiners | | Thursday, September 2 | | Open 5 'til 8pm, Performance at 6pm | | Botanical Garden- Pavilion of the Two Sisters |
Only in New Orleans could a band like the Moonshiners come into being - a group of seven dedicated, educated young musicians with one goal in mind: carrying on and building upon the tradition of New Orleans jazz. Hailing from around the world and trained in music schools all over, the Moonshiners add a creative modern energy and their unique originals to traditional jazz, whipping up a never-before-heard gumbo of music that is flamboyantly entertaining and toe-tappingly good.

| Thursdays at Twilight | | Concert-- Banu Gibson | | Thursday, September 16 | | Open 5 'til 8pm, Performance at 6pm | | Botanical Garden- Pavilion of the Two Sisters |
A superior and swinging jazz singer, Banu is one of the few vocalists of her generation to maintain exclusive loyalty to songs of the 1920s, '30s, and '40s. Rather than mimic singers of the past, she mixes fresh renditions of Tin Pan Alley standards and jazz classics by Gershwin, Ellington, Berlin, Carmichael, Waller, Porter, et al.

| Thursdays at Twilight | | Concert-- Panorama Jazz Band | | Thursday, September 23 | | Open 5 'til 8pm, Performance at 6pm | | Botanical Garden- Pavilion of the Two Sisters |
From Eastern Europe to New Orleans, the panoramic view of the soundscape is pungently condensed to a hip and worldly mix where a freylekh meets a second-line and klezmer meets traditional jazz. Live and acoustic, the Panorama Jazz Band is a rare sonic pleasure in the street or at a club. They always "Come Out Swingin'."

| Thursdays at Twilight | | Concert-- Julio and Cesar | | Thursday, September 30 | | Open 5 'til 8pm, Performance at 6pm | | Botanical Garden- Pavilion of the Two Sisters |
Julio and Cesar Herrera, are originally from Guatemala, and have been in New Orleans for over 30 years. Julio and Cesar describe their music as constantly evolving, attributing this, in part, to their exposure from an early age to many cultures. They talk about growing up in Guatemala, and learning to "sing in Italian" and "play Greek music," along with the "folklore music" of the country and other "popular songs that our parents used to sing."
