FILE - In this May 4, 2017 file photo, Irvin Mayfield performs at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival in New Orleans. Mayfield and his musical partner, pianist Ronald Markham, each pleaded guilty Tuesday, Nov. 10, 2020, to a conspiracy to commit fraud charge. The federal charge stemmed from the time the two spent as board members of the charitable New Orleans Public Library Foundation. Prosecutors alleged that they steered more than $1.3 million raised for public libraries to themselves by funneling it through the New Orleans Jazz Orchestra, which Mayfield founded.
