Why jambalaya?

I got my MOJO workin but it just dont work on you
I wanna love you so bad, child, but I dont know what to do
Im going down to Louisiana, gonna get me a mojo hand
Gonna have you all you women under my command

~Muddy Waters

It’s a lot like jazz.  Jambalaya (pronounced JUM-bah-LIE-ah) is a Louisiana Creole dish of Spanish and French influence.  The Dictionary of American Food and Drink offers this creative old wives’ tale about the origin of the word “jambalaya”: 

Late one evening a traveling gentleman stopped by a New Orleans inn which had little food remaining from the evening meal.  The traveler instructed the cook, “Jean, balayez!” or “Jean, sweep something together!” in the local dialect. 

MOJO brings people and the music they love together…just like jambalaya!

Jazz Jambalaya

our next event

MOJO hosts a Jazz Jambalaya (JJ) every fourth Monday at Carmen’s Club, 522 Dauphin St in downtown Mobile.

Check the ticket info for the specific dates.

A MOJO JJ is an evening of live jazz, delicious food, a historic ambiance, and fabulous people – with a bit of jazz history and information. We call it “gastro-edu-info-tainment.”

Arrive as early as 5:00 pm for Happy Hour beverages from The Outsider Bar and selections from The Insider Food Hall.  Doors to Carmen’s Club open at 6:00 pm Entry by a numbered card based on the day and time time of your ticket purchase.  Music at 6:30 pm.

Local, regional, national, and international musicians perform two hours of the best jazz on the Gulf Coast.

Y’all come “JAZZ IT UP” with MOJO!”
