THE SHOW......PART 1
THE NEW ORLEANS JAZZ AND HERITAGE FESTIVAL IS NOW GOING TO BE AT LEAST AN EVERY OTHER YEAR EVENT. IT WAS INCREDIBLE. FIRST, THE WEATHER WAS PERFECT..SUNNY BUT NOT HUMID, WHICH WAS A CONCERN WHEN WE ARRIVED 2 DAYS BEFORE. SWEATING LIKE PIGS AT THE AIRPORT BUT CHANGED THE NEXT DAY. NICE METAMORPHOSIS.
GREAT TALENT THE WHOLE DAY. AWESOME FOOD THE WHOLE DAY. WE ROAD FROM THE HOTEL TO THE FAIR GROUNDS IN AN OLD YELLOW SCHOOL BUS. TRAVELLING WITH SAZ, HIS LOVELY WIFE AND MY LOVELY WIFE REMINDED ME OF THE DAYS IN JUNIOR HIGH TRYING TO MAKE OUT BEFORE WE GOT TO SCHOOL....NO LUCK AGAIN THIS TIME EITHER. OH WELL, THAT WAS NOT THE OBJECTIVE OF THE DAY ANYWAY.
MUSIC!!! STARTED THE DAY WITH A GREAT ZYDECO BAND.....LOCAL (BAYOU BAND WHO DONE GOOD). COREY LEDET AND HIS ZYDECO BAND. REALLY BROUGHT "HOME" THE COMBO OF TRUE CAJUN MUSIC AND THE NOLA BLUES. GREAT VOCALS AND TIGHT RHYTHM. CHECK 'EM OUT ON FACEBOOK..... http://www.facebook.com/coreyledetandhiszydecobandfanpage
NEXT WAS FOOD AND THEN MORE MUSIC.....A MIX OF THE LOCAL NATIVE INDIANS DOING A TRADITIONAL BEAT....HAVE A GOOD IDEA NOW WHERE THE ZYDECO RHYTHM CAME FROM. THEN ON TO THE JAZZ TENT...HUGE TENT WITH TRADITIONAL DIXIE LAND. CLARINET, TUBA, TROMBONE, AND AN INCREDIBLE, SHORT WOMAN SIGNING. OLD PEOPLE DANCING.....AND A BEAUTIFUL ELDERLY COUPLE TEARING UP THE FLOOR.
STILL TO COME....TAB BENOIT ADN THE AMAZING JEFF BECK (WITH TROMBONE SHORTY! AND ONE HOT LATIN BASS PLAYER....THANK YOU MR. BECK).
