Victor Campbell is a pianist from Camaguey, Cuba, whose playing moves fluently between Cuban jazz, timba, classical technique, and the New Orleans musical vocabulary he has spent years absorbing since moving to the city in 2019. He trained at Cuba's National School of the Arts and first came to New Orleans in 2012 through the Louis Armstrong Summer Jazz Camp, a visit that, in his own words, changed his life.

The New Orleans Jazz Museum describes him as moving effortlessly between a blues solo, a Cuban timba montuno, and a classical selection within the same set. Chucho Valdes, the legendary Cuban pianist, predicted in 2019 that Campbell would revolutionize Cuban jazz piano. He has since performed with Delfeayo Marsalis and the Uptown Jazz Orchestra, contributed to the soundtrack of the film Sinners, which went on to Oscar recognition, and become one of the most talked-about young musicians in the city.

Vibe with Ayanna & Zahria brings together sound curator and DJ Ayanna Cooper Vasquez and saxophonist and bandleader Zahria Sims for a live collaboration that sits at the intersection of house music and jazz. Ayanna is a New Orleans and Milwaukee-based DJ whose sets draw from house, disco, Afro-Latin rhythms, and globally inspired sounds, built around deep grooves and soulful, unhurried programming. Zahria Sims is a Baton Rouge native now rooted in New Orleans and founder of the Zahria Sims Collective, whose layered saxophone melodies and looped textures bring a live jazz voice to Ayanna's DJ sets. A Loyola University jazz graduate, Sims' credits include opening slots for Kenny Garrett and Arturo Sandoval, a recording with Nicholas Payton, and a 2025 debut EP. The two have developed their collaborative format through regular performances at 3oneone6, a creative collective and art space on St. Claude Avenue.

Gov't Majik is a New Orleans collective led by bassist and co-founder Bru Bruser and fronted by vocalist Ten Spencer. Self-described as "The Dirty South Afro-Beat Arkestra," the band blends the music of Fela Kuti and other Afrobeat and Afrofunk pioneers with the funk, jazz, rap, and rock and roll of New Orleans, landing somewhere between Fela, OutKast, and Kool & the Gang. Founded in 2005, the band made their Jazz Fest debut in 2007 and returned to the festival stage in 2026. Their 2023 EP The Bass Age features Parliament-Funkadelic saxophonist Greg Thomas. Their new album, This Magic Feeling, is due out in February 2027

Helen Gillet is a Belgian-born cellist, singer, and composer who has made New Orleans her home since 2002. She holds degrees in music and anthropology from Beloit College and a master's in music from Loyola University New Orleans, and her training under Hindustani cellist Nancy Lesh launched her into a career built around live looping, layering cello and vocal lines into a singular, genre-resistant style. She has performed at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, Voodoo Festival, the Kennedy Center, Lincoln Center, and the Copenhagen Jazz Festival, and has recorded with Arcade Fire, Dr. John, and Marianne Faithful. Her original score for Katrina & Beyond plays above Fats Domino's wrecked piano in a permanent exhibit at the Louisiana State Museum.

Mahmoud Chouki returns to the Good Measure stage.

A Moroccan-born master guitarist, multi-instrumentalist, and composer who has made New Orleans his home and his sounding board. His compositions draw on an unusually wide range of traditions, Andalusian and North African music, Levantine strings, Latin American rhythms, European classical training, and New Orleans jazz, woven together into something that feels like a genuine musical dialogue rather than a fusion exercise.

Chouki serves as music curator for the New Orleans Museum of Art, where his site-specific performance series Safar explored how music can speak across cultural divides. He composed the score for Ma Belle, Ma Beauty, which won at the Sundance Film Festival, and was named Best Emerging Artist by OffBeat Magazine. As artistic director of Rencontre Orient-Occident in Switzerland, he has built a career around bringing international musicians into conversation, with New Orleans, and with each other.

A soulful expressionist, Ari’s guitar styles incorporate foundational influences R&B, funk, gospel, jazz, hip-hop, blues, and psychedelic rock, a greasy gumbo that coalesces with many multi-hued endeavors. A co-founder of premiere Mardi Gras Indian Funk band The Rumble feat. Chief Joseph Boudreaux, they released debut studio LP Stories From the Battlefield in 2024, and were swiftly GRAMMY nominated for the second straight year. The versatile 30-year old guitarist was recently drafted into Dumpstaphunk, the mighty Crescent City institution founded by Ivan Neville, a NOLA icon with whom Teitel has performed extensively. In May 2025, Teitel released an LP  titled Another Side of The Sound with drummer Adam Deitch (Lettuce, John Scofield) and organ master Sam Fribush (Hiss Golden Messenger) to wide acclaim.   Tonight marks the release of his new album ‘honest.’.
