Trumpeter Alex Massa was born and raised in the Black Hills, but for nearly five years, New Orleans has been his home. He's lived in the Crescent City since early 2013 and his mission has been to learn as much as he can about the music, culture food and people of New Orleans. Massa is back in South Dakota, and tomorrow evening, he's performing during Jazz Night at the Pavilion in downtown Sioux Falls. Music begins at 7:30. SDPB's Karl Gehrke spoke with Alex Massa last night on Jazz Nightly.
