We're going - April 24-26 and April 4-May 3. We have owned the Jazzfest week in a nice timeshare off the French Quarter for years but haven't seen a lineup like this. To name a few:
Wynton Marsalis, Dave Matthews Band, James Taylor, Joe Cocker, Earth Wind & Fire, Wilco, Robert Cray, Etta James, Pete Seeger, Hugh Masekela, Pete Trombone Shorty, Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra, Henry Butler, The Dixie Cups, Texas Johnny.
Aretha Franklin, Tony Bennett, Bonnie Raitt, Emmylou Harris, Dr. John, Buddy Guy, Los Lobos, Marcia Ball, Ellis Marsalis, Kermit Ruffins & the Barbecue Swingers, BeauSoleil avec Michael Doucet,and a ton of unknown (to us) bands.
This is held in the infield of a race track and usually ends by supper time. The groups often appear unannounced at verious venues downtown and in the quarter.
Gumbo any time, Turbodog any time, beignets for late breakfast, Mothers for lunch, and maybe a fancy meal once or twice for dinner.
