There are so many wonderful musicians in New Orleans of all ages and styles now. Everyone's got to have a favorite. One of mine in Aurora Nealand who sits in with numerous bands including the gypsy jazz group Vavavoom which plays Wed and Thursday nights at the Spotted Cat on Frenchman Street. Go see them. You won't regret it.
I think you meant to say "you can't swing a spotted cat without hitting a musician in NOLA."
And it's true.
Anyone who loves live music, especially jazz of all kinds, is missing the experience of a lifetime by not being in New Orleans right now and I mean RIGHT NOW.
The music has never been better and your being there right now is a huge help.
