[Kano on the Phone]

Now people legally have to stop laughing at me when I tell them that Robin Thicke is my favorite jazz musician.

 

[ЯAW]

I hate it when Jazz fests are full of big non-jazz artist. Go with Jazz, people will come. Still, I want to go. I have been to New Orleans just once. On top of that I was robbed there during my visit, I still loved the city. Awesome food, awesome street music and awesome bars.

The full title of the festival is New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival. There are multiple stages and tents where some are thematic (gospel, techno, Classic Jazz.)

It has grown so much since it started in Armstrong Park. Last year I went on the day DMB played. It was amazing; they played through a thunderstorm with an encore. Saw Earth Wind and Fire the same day, too, as well as others. All on a 50 dollar ticket.

Yikes! Been here 12 years now and I've not had an issue. Damn.

 

[NYCmetsfan]

I might go back down to see Bruce.

 

[blackflag]

I want to go. Sick lineup. Was gonna go last year but everyone else cancelled at the last minute.

 

[jmls1121]

LOL at Christina Aguilera getting top billing over Phish and Santana.

 

[Chumpion]

Ms. Aguilera was invited by the Twerking Heritage Foundation.

 

[Sol..]

Man some of those artists seem like they would be a little bit of a buzz kill for Jazz fanatics but I guess you gotta make em take a break somehow.

 

[Spider from Mars]

Phish is the worst

 

[Jayof9s]

Huh, I just so happen to be going to New Orleans that week for work. I better get my hotel booked.

 

[Roland Gunner]

I haven't been to Jazz fest since the year Nirvana played but its an awesome show. Great audience too. Very mellow people to hangout with after the show closes down.

 

[commedieu]

kinda awesomer than cochella.. plus the location. Might be a bit less kids too?

Anyone ever go to these..?

 

[maquiladora]

The Mavericks? Jesus. Blast from the past.

 

[NH Apache]

Not a whole lot of kids.

Food is amazing (Cochon de Lait Po-Boy, omg), drinks are pretty cheap and most of the beer and liquor sellers are local firemen raising money.

Relatively easy to get in and out of, and the festival is super safe. Add in that Jazzfest usually finishes about 7pm and a majority of the artists play around the city at night creates a full day of partying.

Considering that Lent ends about a week before, I forsee some serious music/beverage appreciation.

 

[Roland Gunner]

I've been three times and its awesome. Maybe 1/4 the size of a show like Cochella but they do not have all the acts both weekends so make sure you check the lineup. If you go, tons of people near the Fairgrounds will rent out their places so you can get a house a few blocks away and walk down. Also, it wraps up around 7:00 at night so plan to see some after-shows.

 

[thekonamicode]

Go for the music, stay for the food.

THE FOOD!!!

 

[Flying Toaster]

Phish is the worst

You can die in a fire.

Honestly the line up is not Jazz at all but the fact that

Eric Clapton
Phish
String Cheese Incident

Will be there is wicked awesome on so many levels.

 

[CrunchyFrog]

For people new to NO. please do yourself a favor and go see Allan Toussaint, Rebirth Brass Band, and Trombone Shorty at the very least. Then stay for the food. Parking can be crazy though and the fairgrounds are huge so get there at least 90 minutes in advance.

Clapton is a nice grab, as is BTE. This'll be my first time going to Jazz fest and NOT being petrified about finals at the same time.

Preservation Jazz Band is great too.

 

[NH Apache]

For all your smooth jazz needs.

Preservation Jazz Band is great too.

And Kermit, Galactic (not jazz, funk), Nevilles, so, so many.

 

[CrankyJay]

Was there 2 years ago. Had a phenomenal time. Also caught Rebirth Brass band at the howlin wolf.

 

[Goldenroad]

So...who's going to Phish on Saturday?! If you're in NOLA, just do it. They haven't been since '96, and they are gonna tear the roof off that sucka.

 

[EVOL 100%]

Don't get me wrong, it's a pretty good lineup...

But that lineup pretty much says it all about how fucking dead Jazz is. Such a shame.

 

[NH Apache]

Had tickets. Had to turn them down due to other responsibilities.

I regret it.

AAAAHHH I didn't even know this was happening. Not that I could have gone I guess.

And String Cheese?? Since when are they touring again?

 

[CrankyJay]

Rebirth Brass Band...love these guys

Saw them at The Howlin' Wolf and Jazz Fest back in 2012

They're great people too. This is one of their projects:

They came up here to Buffalo NY for a fundraiser to provide out-of-school youth with a neighborhood program for GED preparation.

I realize they got paid, but still awesome of them to come up to some random ass place like Buffalo.

 

[royalan]

I see some people are pressed that The Voice of Our Generation, The Legend, The Queen of Nasty, VOCALIST Christina Maria Desnudate Mi Reflejo Aguilera is receiving top billing.

 

[Goldenroad]

Had tickets. Had to turn them down due to other responsibilities.

I regret it.

Whatever you're doing Saturday night, it's never gonna be as worth it as hitting that show.

AAAAHHH I didn't even know this was happening. Not that I could have gone I guess.

I think SCI is just playing the odd show here and there. From what I hear it's pretty phoned in mostly, but they have a new album coming out so maybe they'll hit the road for a real terr sometime soon.

 

[Dash_]

I hate being in the UK. : /

 

[otapnam]

There were a shit ton of brits n aussies at Coachella. No excuses

That's a bummer. Hopefully they don't lame it up at the festival

 

[walk_away21]

Anyone here going? Wish I was and I love New Orleans. Someone PLEASE record Christina's set and upload please!!!

 

[Pizza Luigi]

That's one hell of a line-up. Why are some artists bolded though?

 

[NH Apache]

It is being broadcast on some providers on the AXS Channel.

http://www.nojazzfest.com/news/watch-jazz-fest-live-on-axs-tv/

Additionally, some of the jazzfest is being streamed by WWOZ, but mostly straight jazz and blues.

http://www.wwoz.org/

That's one hell of a line-up. Why are some artists bolded though?

In the OP, I put some notables in bold. This was months ago when it was first announced. The full line up is here:

With the daily schedules below:

Excuse the shitty PDF to PNG conversion.

 

[walk_away21]

I heard they will not be broadcasting Springsteen, Aguilera, and some other notables though. Does anyone know about that / if there is another way to watch it ?

 

[SOME-MIST]

kind of surprising Jonathon Kreisberg isn't on there..

 

[NH Apache]

Not that I'm aware. You may be Sol.

Here is a list from the axs site, not sure if this is everyone or partial.

 

[HOMEBOY OVER HERE]
