Jazz Steamboat — Neva river jazz cruise

About

The Jazz Steamboat is a long-running Petersburg summer tradition — a jazz cruise on the Neva, with roots in the Kvadrat jazz club scene of the 1960s. The specific format draws on the early-20th-century New Orleans tradition of jazz musicians performing on Mississippi steamboats; the Petersburg version has run regularly since 2001 on a steamboat converted for the purpose. Live jazz on board; combined with the specific Neva views of central Petersburg. Best in the summer months. Language load is zero — jazz-instrumental format.
