THE ROOSEVELT NEW ORLEANS BOOKS FIRST MUSICAL ACT MARKING RETURN OF 
ENTERTAINMENT
IN THE SAZERAC BAR, BLUE ROOM
NEW ORLEANS

 - June 23, 2009 - After nearly 50 years, The Roosevelt New Orleans Hotel is 
again
claiming its spot as a top music destination in the city and around the 
world.
Starting in July, guests can enjoy the fresh and imaginative sounds of jazz 
clarinetist
Tim Laughlin inside the legendary Sazerac Bar. Laughlin will bring a sound 
and style
that is uniquely his own, contrasting the classic style with which he grew 
up with
the contemporary influences of others. Performance dates are July 9-11, 
16-18 and
23-25, with shows beginning at 8 p.m. nightly.

On July 31, legendary clarinetist Pete Fountain will take the stage at the 
Blue Room
with Laughlin. Together they will bring back the kind of star entertainment 
that
once made the Blue Room one of America's premier night clubs and supper 
clubs. The
event will include a champagne reception and dinner starting at 7 p.m., with 
music
to follow.
