ClubD on Location: New Orleans Jazz Fest

The Jazz & Heritage Festival, New Orleans Fairgrounds

Weekend 2

When I think of homegrown New Orleans musicians, two quintessential acts are the Neville Brothers and Henry Butler, both of whom played the second weekend of Fest this year. As it has every year I've gone, and this is my sixth one, Jazz Fest filled my soul with blues, funk, zydeco, gospel, and every kind of jazz imaginable. The horns were out in full force and the music never stopped.

More soon...
