Inside The Arts: A Jazzy Mobile App, Julian Sands At The CAC, And Toussaint Jams With Parsons Dance

Courtesy of the artist

This week on Inside the Arts, many of us are rifting on melodies and memories of Jazz Fest 2014. We'll tell you about a new mobile app that is spreading our rich musical heritage around the globe.

Then we travel across the pond, via telephone, for conversation with British actor Julian Sands who will be in New Orleans this week for his solo stage performance — A Celebration of Harold Pinter — at the Contemporary Arts Center.

And we round out with a one-night-only world premiere event as the New Orleans Ballet Association presents Parsons Dance with Allen Toussaint and the Allen Toussaint Orchestra.

Airs Tuesdays at 1:00 p.m. and Thursdays at 8:35 a.m.
