Best! News! Ever!
The Jazz Fest will play on! I experienced my first one ever this year, and it literally blew me away. Such rich culture, and non stop music. (America can seem so culturally bland at times, but not in NOLA, baby.) Ohhh, and the food. No one ever told me it was half about the food. Crawfish monica, crab cakes, you name it. (Chefs compete to be the sole provider of each classic dish, so you are getting the very best of the best of the best.)
These musicians will be throwing down like never before, believe me. A thousand crazed Mardi Gras krewes couldn't keep me away....
Here's the news clip:
--------------------------------
The 2006 New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival will go on.
"There will be a Jazzfest. We are committed to putting on the 2006 Jazz and Heritage Festival, whatever that may take," said Quint Davis, producer/director of the springtime musical extravaganza and president of Festival Productions Inc.-New Orleans, which produces the festival with AEG Live, the nation's second highest-grossing concert promoter.
Details are sketchy at this point.
"We don't know when, we don't know where, we don't know what format," Davis said. "There will be a Jazzfest in 2006. It will be in Louisiana. It will be as close to New Orleans as we can get it."
The producers would like to hold the event at its customary site at the Fair Grounds Race Course, but if that's not possible they are committed to holding it in Louisiana. "We'll be starting from the Fair Grounds and working our way out" in determining a location, Davis said.
This commitment comes from all of the major stakeholders in the festival, Davis said.
