The Loft Party is the most talked about, diverse underground happening of the year, gathering interesting people from around the globe for jazz, blues, rock and soul.

This is the greatest music party in the world. You float through stunning spaces with river views, catching the most amazing performances all under one roof—standing two feet from stardom with legends and unknown gems from Paris to Mississippi, with the famous and the soon-to-be...

The Loft Party is made with love to give back to YOU what you have made possible for so many in need.

This year's theme will be "To New Orleans, With Love." We will celebrate the survival, struggle and rebirth of New Orleans, 10 years after Katrina.

Your support has directly assisted in rebuilding New Orleans by rehousing and creating work for over 1,000 of the city's most beloved musicians, while helping hundreds of their children as well for the past decade.

The Loft Party will feature more than 60 musicians, with bands changing every half hour. And for starters...how about Macy Gray and the Grammy-nominated Hot 8 Brass Band straight from the streets of New Orleans! There will be other incredible names and surprises we cannot mention yet...

You won't want to miss this one.This event has become so popular that we have to limit the numbers this year.

Our soul goddess Macy Gray and diva Bettye LaVette (as raved about in the New Yorker); the Grammy-nominated Hot 8 Brass Band straight from the streets of the Crescent City; for our jazzheads...the Royals themselves, dedicating their moments to the late great Clark Terry: Kenny Barron, Randy Weston and The Heath Brothers, plus rising piano and film star Justin Kauflin in a tribute to his mentor; our New Orleans royalty: Prince of New Orleans Davell Crawford and Emperor of the Ivories Henry Butler; piano phenoms: ELEW and for the Blues lovers in the house... the Queen herself, Sweet Georgia Brown, and your favorite burn-down-the-house-in-a-zoot-suit saxman, the James Carter Organ Trio; and don't forget all the surprises we can’t mention till we get closer! Special appearance by Savion Glover. MCs: Danny Glover, T.S. Monk, Mathieu Jaton Todd Barkan.

CANELO ALVAREZ VS. JAMES KIRKLAND SET FOR MAY 9 FROM MINUTE MAID PARK IN HOUSTON, TEXAS

LOS ANGELES (Feb. 25) – The wait is over. Two of boxing’s toughest warriors, Mexican superstar Canelo Alvarez and the Texas titan James “Mandingo Warrior” Kirkland will clash in a 12-round super welterweight showdown at Minute Maid Park in Houston, Texas on Saturday, May 9, 2015.

I promise my fans I will be victorious and invite everyone to come out and join us at Minute Maid Park on May 9. They will not be disappointed.”

“This is the fight I’ve been waiting for,” said James Kirkland. “Canelo is the opponent I get asked about more than any other fighter. I’m ready to show my skills to the world and shut down the people who doubt me. Come fight night you will see a great fight between two warriors and I know at the end of the night my hand will be raised in victory.”

“We are committed to putting on the best fights and a fight between Canelo, who is one of the best fighters in the sport and Kirkland, who is one of the most feared, will be an explosive night in the ring on May 9,” said Oscar De La Hoya, Founder and President of Golden Boy Promotions. “Canelo is ready to take on Kirkland and he is prepared to give fans an entertaining fight.

Their determination and intense preparation will make for a top fight. Whether you’re with us in person or tuned in on HBO, I know this will be a fight not to be missed.”

“Because of the quality of fighter he is and quality of fight he is in, Canelo Alvarez’s 2015 debut may be more heavily anticipated than any others,” said Peter Nelson, HBO Sports vice president of programming. “That’s because when Canelo decided to face the incarnate wrecking-ball that is James Kirkland, fans recognize both that Alvarez is choosing a hard road and that Kirkland has been paving that road his whole career in hope of one day reaching a landmark opportunity like this one.

At the age of 24, Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico’s Canelo Alvarez (44-1-1, 31 KOs) has conquered the boxing world, captivating fans both at home and around the globe with his action-packed fighting style, charisma and willingness to take on the toughest challenges.

His only loss was his 2013 record-setting ‘highest grossing bout of all time’ fight with Floyd Mayweather. On May 9, Alvarez will put it all on the line once more against perhaps the hardest puncher in boxing, James “Mandingo Warrior” Kirkland.

A Texas titan, representing the city of Austin, 30-year-old southpaw James “Mandingo Warrior” Kirkland (32-1, 28 KOs) has built his reputation with explosive power. His fists have accounted for 28 knockout victories over the course of his nearly 14-year professional career. A former NABO and WBC Continental Americas Champion, Kirkland bounced back from his lone defeat against Nobuhiro Ishida in 2011 with five consecutive wins, four coming by way of knockout. Kirkland has defeated Brian Vera, Alfredo “Perro” Angulo and Carlos “King” Molina and most recently handed Glen “Jersey Boy” Tapia his first professional loss by way of a punishing sixth-round technical knockout, setting the stage for a war with Canelo on May 9.
