Louis Ford is a fifth generation New Orleans musician, inspired by his father Clarence Ford. Like his father, Louis is an accomplished clarinetist and saxophonist, with love and dedication to the Preservation of Jazz. Studying music at NOCCA under Ellis Marsalis, a member of St. Augustine’s Marching 100, he earned a degree in Music Education from Loyola University. Louis’ career has enabled him to travel extensively, sharing his gifts throughout the world, with his band, Louis Ford & His New Orleans Flairs. Louis’ most inspiring and rewarding travels are those sharing his knowledge of New Orleans culture, Traditional Jazz, and the history of the music pioneers who created it, including a cultural exchange trip to Cuba in 2018, where he gave workshops to young musicians.
