If you couldn't be in New Orleans for New Year's, the next best thing is catching the always amazing Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue at the Belly Up. Sadly, both nights of this performance are sold out, but for the lucky ticket holders with the foresight to buy into 2015 in advance, this is certainly going to be the show of the night. If you don't have tickets and still have some party left in your bones before getting back to the grind, Soda Bar hosts Bondurant, Dizzy's has a show with Lizzi Trumbore, and Afrojazziacs play an early evening show at Winston's.
