Shortly after\, he heard jazz on the radio\, focusing his musical journey for the rest of his life. During these formative years\, Laughlin spent as many hours listening to jazz as he did practicing. His first job was on a Carnival float at the age of 15 with schoolmates. After graduating high school\, Laughlin joined the musicians’ union\, where he met some of his mentors who would help shape his playing at “The Conservatory of Bourbon St.”  In 1992\, Laughlin was a member of The Dukes of Dixieland and performed at Carnegie Hall with the New York Pops. Featured in many festivals throughout the world\, he has toured over twenty countries\, including a goodwill US State Department Tour one month after Hurricane Katrina. Laughlin has a dozen CDs under his name. In 2003\, he recorded “The Isle of Orleans”(Gentilly Records)\, an award-winning CD of his own New Orleans jazz originals. Historically\, Laughlin is still the only New Orleans jazz clarinetist to ever release an album of all originals in this genre. Two of his originals can be heard in a recent 2016 major motion picture called Mr. Church\, starring Eddie Murphy. Many others have been used in television\, commercials and movies. In 2014\, Laughlin was asked to perform at The Vatican and was with a distinguished delegation that had a private audience with Pope Francis. At home\, Laughlin is very much in demand and has been a local favorite at The French Quarter Festival and New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival and has enjoyed making his living in New Orleans for the past 35 years. He stays busy playing at top clubs like Snug Harbor\, The Palm Court and Preservation Hall. His latest CD\, “Gert Town Blues”(2020)\, is his 2nd of all-originals album\, bringing more new melodies of New Orleans jazz to the 21st century. \nListen to Tim Laughlin\nAbout David Boeddinghaus \nDavid Boeddinghaus studied piano in his hometown\, New York City\, with Modena Scovill Lane\, wife of the American composer Eastwood Lane. Shortly after graduating in 1983 from Indiana University with a Master’s degree in classical performance\, he relocated to New Orleans to join singer and bandleader Banu Gibson as her band pianist and Music Director\, a position he still holds. With Banu Gibson\, Boeddinghaus has performed concerts\, festivals and jazz parties worldwide. He has performed with the Boston Pops for their Millennium celebration; on public radio’s A Prairie Home Companion; and at the Hollywood Bowl. \nHe appeared on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson while accompanying vocalist Leon Redbone. Boeddinghaus was musical director and pianist for the award-winning documentary film Crumb about the legendary ‘underground comics’ cartoonist R. Crumb. He was the Music Director and pianist for Jerome Savary’s  Looking for Josephine\, a musical stage play on Jazz Age performer Josephine Baker. The show opened in Paris at the Opera Comique and toured France\, Spain\, Germany\, Lebanon and Belgium. David Boeddinghaus is a featured player with the Louisiana Repertory Jazz Ensemble and his musical travels have taken him from Beijing and Hong Kong to Berlin\, Oslo\, London and Australia.  He has toured with New Orleans clarinet legend Pete Fountain and performs a weekly solo gig at The Grill Room at The Windsor Court Hotel\, where he also performs with Tim Laughlin’s Trio. Boeddinghaus is considered to be one of the finest jazz pianists in the world. \nAbout Ogden After Hours \nOgden After Hours (OAH) is a monthly event that takes place on select Thursdays and features a diverse lineup of programs reflecting and celebrating the diversity of Southern art and culture.
