FATS JAZZ CATS
New Orleans Jazz Ensemble * Member of the International Renew New Orleans Mission
Leader: Fats von Gerolstein
We play jazz in order to support the rebuilding of the Afro-American neighbourhoods of
New Orleans Louisiana. We play regularly at the Talbahnhof-Eschweiler Bistro (Germany) for the series SPIRIT OF NEW ORLEANS. Please check "events" on this website. Please also look at: www.talbahnhof-eschweiler.de
We do so in gratitude for the present of JAZZ these wonderful people have given to us.
If you want to book Fats Jazz Cats, we will be glad to come to your festival, your special occasion - and we would even give a "New Orleans Talk" with up-to-date pictures. The money you pay for the gig will go to St. Augustine & AWK International e.V. - the benevolent support system for New Orleans Louisiana.
