When Your Grandma Is the Heartbeat of Jazz — Meet the Legendary Doreen Ketchens

POV: Your grandma isn’t just babysitting.
She’s preserving history.

Doreen Ketchens — one of New Orleans’ most beloved jazz clarinetists — has spent decades bringing classic Crescent City sound to streets, stages, and festivals.

Swing.
Blues.
Brass.
Legacy.

That’s not just a performance.
That’s culture in motion.

New Orleans jazz isn’t background music.
It’s inheritance.

And sometimes, it’s passed down mid-song.
