Its most recognizable note? The blare of a trumpet playing a swinging beat. Known as the birthplace of jazz, New Orleans has been home to legendary musicians like Louis Armstrong and Trombone Shorty, and it\u2019s a rite of passage for up-and-coming jazz stars to perform in the clubs that line famed Frenchmen Street. When the new <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fourseasons.com\/neworleans\/\">Four Seasons Hotel New Orleans<\/a> debuts later this year, guests will enjoy exclusive access to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.preservationhall.com\/\">Preservation Hall<\/a>, a venerable jazz institution in the French Quarter that has hosted jazz greats such as clarinettist George Lewis and pianist and singer Sweet Emma Barrett. Take in a private concert at the venue with friends, and then learn to slide a trombone during a one-on-one music lesson with a local jazz musician.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"body_block_5\" class=\"body-block body-cta large-body-media body-block-cta-small-body\">\n<div class=\"body-cta-container\">\n<div class=\"cta-text-container\">\n<h3>Four Seasons Hotel New Orleans<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"cta-btn-container\">\n            <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fourseasons.com\/neworleans\/\" class=\"btn btn-primary btn-small\">Check Rates &#038; Availability <\/a>\n        <\/div>\n<div class=\"cta-plp-link visible-xs\">\n        \t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.fourseasons.com\/neworleans\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Visit Four Seasons Hotel New Orleans\" class=\"cta-text-link\" rel=\"noopener\">See all you can experience at <nobr>Four Seasons Hotel New Orleans<\/nobr><\/a>\n        <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"body_block_6\" class=\"section-video body-block video-container full large-body-media\">\n<div class=\"fs-video\">\n<div class=\"fs-video-container video-wrapper\" data-iframe-id=\"vidframe_body_block_6\">\n<p>                   <span class=\"intent-icon ion-ios-play\"><br \/>\n                        <span class=\"icon-play\"><\/span><br \/>\n                        video<br \/>\n                    <\/span><\/p>\n<figure class=\"video-screenshot\">\n                        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/NMH_284_970x546.jpg\" \/><br \/>\n                    <\/figure>\n<div class=\"video-object\" data-source=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=VtBZPtNaqxU\">\n<div class=\"embed-responsive embed-responsive-16by9 video-ratio\">\n                        <!-- Embed Begin --><br \/>\n                        <iframe id=\"vidframe_body_block_6\"  style=\"position: absolute; left: 0px; top: 0px; width: 100%; height: 100%\"    src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/VtBZPtNaqxU?feature=oembed&#038;rel=0&#038;enablejsapi=1&#038;origin=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.fourseasons.com%2Fmagazine\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>                        <!-- Embed End -->\n                    <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"asset-share element-share\">\n            <button class=\"btn btn-share collapsed\" type=\"button\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" data-target=\"#image_share_149184\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"image_share_149184\"><br \/>\n                <span class=\"icon-share icon-share-arrow\"> <span class=\"share-text\">Share<\/span><\/span><br \/>\n            <\/button><\/p>\n<ul id=\"image_share_149184\" class=\"collapse share-options\" >\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/dialog\/feed?app_id=998607926923032&#038;display=popup&#038;redirect_uri=http%3A%2F%2Fmagazine.fourseasons.com%2Fclose.html&#038;link=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.fourseasons.com%2Fmagazine%2Fwp-admin%2Fpost.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><i class=\"icon-share icon-facebook\"><\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.fourseasons.com%2Fmagazine%2Fwp-admin%2Fpost.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><i class=\"icon-share icon-twitter\"><\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.fourseasons.com%2Fmagazine%2Fwp-admin%2Fpost.php&#038;media=https%3A%2F%2Fdjdo2py1q6zlg.cloudfront.net%2Fmagazine%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2021%2F05%2FNMH_284_970x546.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><i class=\"icon-share icon-pinterest\"><\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"body_block_7\" class=\"body-block text-block body-block-article-content-block\">\n<header class=\"block-header text-block\">\n<h2 class=\"block-title\">A Zen Healing Ceremony in Hoi An<\/h2>\n<\/header>\n<div class=\"entry\">\n<p>Singing bowls have long been used as part of meditation practice; the gentle hum created by the bowls\u2019 vibrations helps induce a state of deep relaxation.
