New Orleans this week: AverySunshine at the Jazz Market, two Soul Rebels nights and Hot 8 on Sunday

Saturday is stacked from Central City to Frenchmen Street, and the brass bands keep it going past midnight.

Saturday in New Orleans this week starts early and ends very late. At 7:30 a soul singer opens the night in Central City. Uptown, a local rock band is at Tipitina's. After 11, the Soul Rebels are going on Frenchmen. Midweek has a drummer's night at the Maple Leaf, and Sunday belongs to the brass bands.

Here's the week.

Wednesday, Nov 11 — Stanton Moore, The Maple Leaf Bar, 7pm. He's at the Maple Leaf again this week. Our calendar has him there Monday as well as Wednesday. It's the best midweek reason to head up Oak Street.

Thursday, Nov 12 — The Soul Rebels, Le Bon Temps Roule, doors 10pm, show 11pm. It's a small room on Magazine, so get there by doors.

Saturday, Nov 14 — AverySunshine, New Orleans Jazz Market, 7:30pm, $36.60–$52.10. Our pick of the week, in one of the city's best rooms for listening. The Jazz Market opened in April 2015 in the old Gators department store at Oretha Castle Haley and Martin Luther King Jr. boulevards. It's home to the New Orleans Jazz Orchestra, with a theater of about 370 seats and the Bolden Bar out front. A soul singer with a piano in a room that size is about as good as Saturday nights get.

Saturday, Nov 14 — Dash Rip Rock, Tipitina's, 8pm. The ticket page bills the night as "Red Rockers Present Anarchy in Tipitina's." Loud and local.

Saturday, Nov 14 — Papa Mali, Chickie Wah Wah, 9pm, $26.96–$39.29. He's billed with the Instigators. It's a good bridge between the early shows and the late ones.

Saturday, Nov 14 — The Soul Rebels, Blue Nile, doors 10pm, show 11pm. Their second night of the week, this time on Frenchmen. Pace yourself.

Sunday, Nov 15 — Buena Vista Orchestra, House of Blues, 7pm, $47.30–$75.50. The early Sunday option in the Quarter.

Sunday, Nov 15 — Hot 8 Brass Band, Howlin' Wolf, 10:30pm. The ticket page calls them "the Grammy-winning Hot 8." It's a late Sunday, and it's worth it.

It's a week that shows what this town does well. The rooms are small, the start times are late, and the same bands play more than once because people keep coming back.

At 7:30 a soul singer opens the night in Central City, and after 11 the Soul Rebels are going on Frenchmen.

Pick a Saturday route and stick to it: Central City early, then Frenchmen late. Save some energy for Sunday at the Wolf.
