| Norwegian Crown Prince in New Orleans His Royal Highness Crown Prince Haakon of Norway will celebrate the centennial of the Norwegian Seamen's Church in New Orleans on Sunday, Oct. 15 at 1772 Prytania Street. On Saturday, Oct. 14, His Royal Highness will tour Habitat for Humanity's Musicians' Village, which is being built for displaced New Orleans families and musicians. The tour, which includes a brief jazz concert, takes place at 4000 North Roman Street. His Royal Highness, himself an avid jazz enthusiast, is treated to jazz music by new home owner Larry "Steamboat Willie" Stoops on the front porch of a newly built house. Following hurricane Katrina, the Norwegian Seamen's Church in New Orleans helped distribute funds collected by Norwegian jazz musicians at festivals and concerts in Norway to aid jazz musicians in New Orleans. Norway is known for its dynamic and experimental jazz scene. HRH Crown Prince Haakon is no stranger to the United States, having earned his Bachelor of Political Science from University of California, Berkeley in 1999. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Jazz News :: home page |
