HA! Now this is a really early roll call thread! Its funny, flying back last weekend I was thinking, I might sit out 2012....that lasted all of 3 or 4 days, once I was all caught up and recovered, I thought Who the fuck am I fooling? IN!  :beers:

Also, me and JP were talking about this, but if we get a big enough group, maybe we can score a sweet spot using vrbo or airbnb, just a  thought.

I don't know that anyone else would be interested in this but you jazzfest/nola folks, but next year (hopefully), there's going to be this documentary coming out on James Booker. Pretty stoked about this, since I've been hooked on his music for a few months now, anyhow, check the trailer:

Only 149 days to go!  :-D

BTW, also appropriate for upcoming shows thread, but I'm seeing Preservation Hall Jazz Band tonight. They're doing some mini tour called A Creole Christmas, which is probably going to be a bunch of holiday tunes, but still, whatever. I just hope they mix in some Basin St. Blues, Saints, Closer Walk with Thee or stuff like that...

Sweet. When I saw their 50th Anny show was happening at Carnegie Hall within a week of my being there I second guessed my plans a little. Decided coming through VA around 1/3,4,5 is gonna be the jam though.

Yeah dude, that's gonna be a helluva show too, did you see the special guests?

ALLEN TOUSSAINT
BLIND BOYS OF ALABAMA
DEL McCOURY BAND
GIVERS
MOS DEF
MY MORNING JACKET
TAO SEEGER
TROMBONE SHORTY

Tickets go on sale for that today. Anyhow, last night's show was great. They started with this 10-15 minute video on the history of Pres Hall, and then there was the performance, stage set up just like in the hall, except there was a baby grand instead of the old wooden upright piano. Also, they played a solid mix of tunes, only a couple holiday tunes in each set, 2 sets, sold out old timey theater, 4-5 minute standing ovation at the end, with them coming back out to encore with Saints, but it had a super long intro from the trumpet player to the point where you didn't recognize what they were gonna play, but then it became obvious when they all jumped it. Also it was the same musicians that we saw when we were down there, and the trombone played wa totally STILL phoning it in. everyone else was on point. I think the's got seniority or something and they're all ok with carrying him. Anyhow, good times...

Yeah, it's been mid-december the last few years. Either way, definitely cool for them to announce a date as opposed to having my check three times a day all December.  :hereitisyousentimentalbastard

In other NOLA news, Voodoo will have their presale also on Dec 14th. Last year 3 day passes were $90 all in, a great deal. they'll also be offering the never-worth-it VIP passes, and 5 month payment plans for anyone that wants to go the installment route.

I told myself after last years line up release fiasco and resulting weak lineup that I wouldn't buy tickets in the presale. But then I had such an awesome time this past year. Still thinking about it. :-)

I've debated Voodoo for a few years now, but it's just way too far for me to consider doing the pre-sale for right now. Bear Creek on the other hand, I'll be DEF signing up for the 5 month plan as soon as it's available! 11/08-11/11/2012

Therein lies the problem for me: BC was awesome, and I know I want to do it next year. But going to two festivals almost back to back (Voodoo > weekend break > BC) is rough on the school and even rough physically and mentally. I needs my time to chill out you know?

BC is better then Voodoo for a number of reasons. Better crowd (in both quantity and quality), better/easier venue, guaranteed to be loaded with acts I enjoy, and on top of all that its cheaper. Voodoo has that old school festival feel, that "fuck the customer" attitude from the 1990s Woodstock era. only a handful of bathrooms, no running water, etc. I mean, I love it, don't get me wrong. City park is magical. But its a pain in the ass.

But of course Voodoo is 2 hours away from me. I might buy a presale ticket, even if I just want to head over for a day then drive home afterwards, a 3 day presale will probably still be cheaper then a 1 day at the gate.

Also my GF and I are spending Christmas Eve in New Orleans. Going to Trombone Shorty's 2nd Annual Funky Christmas jam!

EDIT: Also the two rumors I've heard for Jazzfest are Bruce Springsteen and the Black Keys. and festydave confirmed that Madonna is not playing. Don't know how that suggestion even got started.

UBER JEALOUS!

Yeah, I heard the Bruce rumor too.

As for the comparison, it's exactly why as much as I've been interested in Voodoo, I just can't make it happen. Especially with a varying quality line up every year. With BC I KNOW what I'm going to get, a funking good time. With Voodoo, I might get blink 182 and girl talk  :shakehead:

As for JF, I mentioned this to Dave last week, but it's going to be REALLY hard for me to make it this year. I'm not saying I'm NOT going to be there, but in terms of chances, I'm only sitting at about 20% right now.

The last time Bruce played JF it was his first ever show with the Seeger Sessions band... and I missed it to see the original Meters. Possibly the greatest example of the the Jazzfest credo in my personal Jazzfest history... "Judge your Jazzfest not by what you saw, but by what you missed to see what you saw."

you know the year Phish played, 1996, the day before Phish the Allman Bros. closed out the main stage (then called the Ray Ban Stage) while in the jazz tent Branford Marsalis Quartet was playing A Love Supreme in its entirety.

Three things:

First, the Voodoo pricing structure for 2012 has been announced.

http://jointheritual.wordpress.com/2011/12/12/2012-ticket-price-schedule/

Couple of interesting things here. First, the LOA VIP passes start at $222, last year the presale was $300. Rare is the reviewer that says LOA is "worth it", but for $222 I'm actually considering it for the elevated and front row seating as well as the bathrooms.

Second, and I'm sure I'm reading too much into this, but I'm glad they are announcing the full long term pricing. Makes me glad someone is actually thinking something out for Voodoo instead of just winging it. Last year it felt like they were winging it all year, with the lineup and everything. Hopefully they'll take this year as an opportunity to re-establish themselves as a premier festival.

Third, note the price increase in mid-May to the normal Voodoo pricing of $150. Again, this is earlier then last year, and it makes me hope against hope they will actually release a good chunk of the lineup then, instead of the piecemeal horseshit they did last year. After the fan outrage they experienced with the "band a day" thing, I'm seriously hoping they don't go that route again.

Second: an announcement on the Jazzfest FB:

QuoteComplete 2012 New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival Lineup to be released Wed! BUT tune in tomorrow for a Very Special Early Announcement!

So we get a special announcement tomorrow! I'm thinking it will be the big big headliner. Its probably Bruce, but I'm crossing my fingers for Paul McCartney.

Third: there is a rumor at the JF forum that this year might be the Neville's "farewell" show at JF. not sure if this is farewell from JF or farewell from shows altogether. it is just a rumor, could be nothing.

WHAT!  :-o

Last year the Rads, this year the Nevilles? Who's going to be taking over the final spots on the big stages? Those are going to be some big shoes to fill! Maybe Dumpstaphunk? Time to pass the torch to the younger generation of Nevilles? Honestly though after seeing Art a few times this year (Mahalia Jackson Theater at Jazzfest, Bayou Boogaloo, Bear Creek), I think  it makes sense. It's getting tough for him to even get up from his keys without assistance.

eta: although, if this really is the last year the nevilles are closing out JF, I will have to find a way to be there.

As for Voodoo, you still can't convince me to go!  :wink:

from quint Davis via times-picayune:



Many veteran Jazz Fest fans have wondered who would close out the Gentilly Stage in place of the now-disbanded Radiators. In 2012, it will be a one-off celebration of Preservation Hall's 50th anniversary with a parade of special guests.

"It wasn't just about the last set. It was about the whole day there," Davis said. "It was important to be deep New Orleans, and also not to initially tie (the closing slot) to one thing or one group. How can you get more heart and soul, hardcore New Orleans than Pres Hall?"

more from T-P:


The "cubes" with the stage-by-stage, hour-by-hour schedule, won't be released until spring. As Davis tinkers with the giant puzzle, he hopes to alleviate the sort of scheduling conflicts that inevitably vex fest-goers.

"We can't keep having so many people that last hour," he said. "You'll see us break that up this year. We're going to play around with that and let more people see more people."

This is a huge deal. Only thing bigger would be if Carl and Dennis rose from the grave to join them onstage.
I guess Brian Wilson and Mike Love have settled their differences then?

So yeah, barring some sort of miracle, this isn't happening for me this year. It's just not going to be possible. I'm gonna have to wait for my NOLA funk to happen with Norfolk's Annual Bayou Boogaloo in the summer, and shoot for Bear Creek in November. As for getting back to the Crescent City, might not happen in 2012 at all unfortunately.  :cry:

The key is trying to find someplace reasonably priced. For locations you probably want to be in the french quarter, or the central business district. Avoid east new Orleans. Hotels are cheaper in Metairie/Kenner but they are outside the city and you'll need a car.

I find tripadvisor to be invaluable in these situations. But just to name a few great hotels I've stayed in: Marriott canal, wyndham Whitney, hotel monteleone, holiday inn FQ.

Going to try and pull the trigger on this thing for the first weekend this week. Suggestions of good places to stay?

The key is trying to find someplace reasonably priced. For locations you probably want to be in the french quarter, or the central business district. Avoid east new Orleans. Hotels are cheaper in Metairie/Kenner but they are outside the city and you'll need a car.

I find tripadvisor to be invaluable in these situations. But just to name a few great hotels I've stayed in: Marriott canal, wyndham Whitney, hotel monteleone, holiday inn FQ.

I'll 2nd the Holiday Inn FQ rec. Perfect location for catching the bus across the street to the fest everyday, they also have their own shuttle service tha tpicks up from downstairs, also, great location for being able to walk to shows throughout the FQ, down on Frenchman, or over int the CBD.

ETA: My other suggestion would be to spend some time over here:

Those folks have a lot of good info for a jazzfest first timer.

Also, good interview with Leo here:

But more importantly he mentions the Original Meters doing a gig 2nd weekend, Saturday night (May 5th)at the Howlin' Wolf!  :crazy:

Be there Fest goers!

i have never seen an interview with Leo where he didn't claim "all those old Meters songs are mine." He has the biggest ego I've ever seen. It's hilarious, really.

and, as much as I will always go out of my way to see the original Meters play, I actually prefer the Funky Meters... George, Art, Russel, Brian... just sayin'.

Oh, I know you're a FM > OM guy, but you got to admit, 2nd weekend of Fest, Saturday night, Howlin Wolf, Meters? Sounds like a funking good time to me!

Springsteen is the last announced big name act for the 1st weekend.

QuoteIn an 11th-hour surprise, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band will perform April 29 at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival. It's a first for E Street but an encore for Springsteen, whose emotionally wrenching debut was the festival's standout in 2006.

Springsteen's 17th studio album, the 11-track Wrecking Ball, arrives March 6, and the Jazz Fest date is a stop along what's expected to be a world tour kicking off this spring.

The 2012 Jazz Fest, already a rock-heavy affair with a Beach Boys reunion, Tom Petty, the Foo Fighters, the Eagles and Eddie Vedder, was completely booked with all time slots inked when producer Quint Davis received word in early January that Springsteen wanted in.

"That stood the whole thing on its axis," Davis says. "But doing the impossible is something we never shy away from."

Springsteen's camp told Davis that waiting for confirmation of Wrecking's release date delayed the request. With talent funds depleted, Davis went to the Jazz Fest board for a hefty budget increase.

Honestly, if Al Green is on Gentilly while Bruce is on Acura, it'll be a tossup for me. I love he Boss, truly... But I skipped his last Jazzfest appearance to see the original Meters on Gentilly.  Judge your Jazzfest not by what you saw...

i never posted a proper voodoo 2011 review, but i was disappointed by the Original Meters set. every other review raved about it, but to my ears the playing was sloppy and off point, almost like they are a band that doesn't practice together and just occasionally plays a gig for a big paycheck. :-D

i greatly prefer the funky meters shows i've seen.

also I'm psyched about bruce. after seeing the dailies, it looks like we are going to try for 1st saturday and sunday as well as 2nd saturday and sunday. i'm really happy and surprised they put MMJ on saturday, i thought for sure they'd get the thursday "jamband" slot.

That's most likely the route I would go if it were me in your shoes. I usually choose the cheapest path when I travel to shows, etc.

It's not going to be too horrible I guess, it looks clean, safe (has security), and with a private room/bath. In all reality, we're going to party, and listen to music, not hang out at the hotel. Either way, very pumped!!

Missed this as I fell asleep as soon as I got home last night. BUT, I must've had NOLA on my mind, cause GPJ was in my dream! I don't know why but he was hanging out in my elementary school cafeteria, and it was lunch time, and he was joking about having peanut butter but not enough jam  :hereitisyousentimentalbastard Only thing I can think is it's in that cafeteria that I first learned to play music, so somehow that's how that linked up? I don't know.

Oh, to live in that city though! GPJ, Johnny V, and Fred Wesley, no particular reason, just another Thursday night at the Maple Leaf.  :-o

i'll be getting the trombone short poster for sure. i love it. the artist made it just funky/psychedelic enough. definitely a framer!

attendance update: as of right now I'll be at the fairgrounds 1st and 2nd saturdays and sundays. got hotels booked for fri/sat night both weekends, driving home sunday after the fest.

the challenge, as always, is making this work with final exams. i'm really trying to get extra studying/work done every weekend so all my presentations and papers don't pile up on me in april.

If this was the third in his Congo Square Series (which is what they said would happen eventually) I would buy it. But it's not. When he did Uncle Lionel they said it was a continuation of the series and that you could eventually collect an entire all-star brass band. If you look, the buildings even line up so that they are part of the same "picture." If and when they do continue the series, I am all in. This Shorty poster is not part of the series, so I don't really want it.

BTW, here is my mantle:

I wouldn't argue with that. Royal Family kills it. When Lettuce came on to close out Bear Creek this past year, I was just walking around like, THAT's how it's fucking done! It was instant dance party throwdown, nothing but smiles all around.

This could fit in the today I like, right now I'm reading, right now I'm listening to, and/or vinyl threads, but I figure this would be most appropriate.

Listening to Ambassador Satch (European concert recordings 1955), while reading Pops (Louis Armstrong Biography) on a rainy Sunday evening, having just booked my flight for Jazzfest. I don't know who I was fooling, me skip JF? Simply not possible. There's no other place in the world I need to be the 2nd weekend of Jazzfest than in the city of New Orleans.

Let's do this!  :crazy:

DUDE!

Watched this the other night off netflix, funky Meters set from Jazzfest 2000, decent set, but it's the 30 mins of interview footage afterwards with Art and George that's worth getting the dvd for.

In any case, time for my daily mental break, exhausted, and all the noise I'm getting thrown at me this morning makes this the most appropriate:

So when does the actual schedule come out?

Saw Trombone Shorty added a 9PM show on Friday at Mahalia Jackson with Ozomali. $60 is pretty steep.... sup wit that? Still might do it though and still be able to hit up New Mastersounds or Kraz and GPJr at the Parish for the 2am.

The Mahalia Jackson is pretty big, but the sound and lights will be top-notch in there... more-so than almost anywhere else you'll go for late night shows during Jazzfest. It will feel like a true theater show.

Agreed. I enjoyed the funky Meters/ Galactic show there last year greatly. Don't know if I'm down for this show though, gotta see what else comes out.

Also,

Midnite Disturbers = nastiest horn line up you'll see at fest  :mrgreen:

Also, who said the cubes were happening today? They vary that release, looking back over the last 6 years, it's been as early as Mar 23rd and as late as April 6, with the average being the last week of March, so today would be super early.

NOOB question: what are cubes?

The cubes are the daily schedule by stage. It's where you start to uncover the old Jazzfest adage: judge your Jazzfest not by what you saw but by what you missed to see what you saw.
AWESOME. Thanks.

Also the last day you enjoy your sanity. After that you start to wrack your brain over what to see, who to see, try and plan it all....all for nothing essentially, because you get there and you'll be completely sidetracked everytime you're walking to another stage, whether it be by the sounds of someband you never heard of, or the smells of some food you gotta have!

For todays mental break, watch out for June Yamagishi, dude will fuck your face!

Pretty sure postjack and pieguy will be there first weekend as well, at least for certain days.

Another thing to start checking out is the night grids.

http://www.jazzfestgrids.com/first_weekend/

Soul Rebels at Blue Nile is always a good party, or you can kick it a few doors down at dba with Honey Island Swamp band same night.

Then again you got Rebirth, Dumpstafunk and PGF the same night also, happening over at Howlin Wolf!

Greyboy Allstars late night at One Eyed Jacks, even if it's a tight venue, it'll be a damn good time.

Check out Leroy Jones at Pres Hall. He's the definitive horn player for that venue these days. (Do that early Friday night, get there in time for 8pm set)

OH SHIT! GBA playing Michael Jackson late night at Tips uptown Saturday night! DO IT! And tell us all about it!

Good God I'm already completely blown away, and have no idea where to start haha (and they haven't even released the cubes yet).
Thanks so much though man. DEFINITELY doing the GBA plays MJ show.

Watched this a couple weeks ago but had to hold on to it and watch it a few times. It is definitely worth seeing.

Oh, and

6 WEEKS TO  GO!

:crazy:

Yesterday morning, getting ready for work, in the middle of shaving, looking outside at a rainy, gloomy morning, started daydreaming about the sun on my face and feet in the mud at fest, and just had to take a break and busted out dancing to the music in my head. Yes, I'm a weirdo. But fuck, fest'll do that to you!

(taken inside Blue Nile, one word, it's that simple)

There are no definite sets... sometimes rain forces you into a tent... occasionally (Thursday last year was one of these days) the weather is just so nice outside that you simply can't go in a tent no matter who's playing. As for food... the only thing on the food schedule is my first stop on the first day before even seeing any music... Cochon!!!

YES! I will never forget last years. Best start to fest ever.

Here's one for you guys, wtu and heath, I just arrived, PG picks me up, we walk to fest, sun is shining warmth on your skin, nice gentle breeze going, pick up our cochon po boys, have a seat in the grass, just grabbed a couple beers too, listening to gov't majik afrobeat arkestra, and Lucia Micarelli (annie from treme) is standing right there. It was a feast for ALL the senses at once. I'm pretty sure I said something like this is what heaven must be like.  :hereitisyousentimentalbastard

Also, 5 WEEKS FOR ME!!! Definitely jealous of the first weekenders. But if all goes well, maybe by next year, I'll be moving on up to both weekends! Ahhh, dreams....

Just watched that Meters video again... gotta love rainy jazzfest days when everybody's just wet and dancing without a care in the world. My very first Jazzfest experience was exactly that. Zig and Leo on the Gentilly stage in the pouring rain - me dancing barefoot on the muddy track - I was hooked instantly.

Also, I love that lineup of the Meters with George, Art, Leo, and Russel. Tight, tight, tight!

And zero humidity. It WAS quite perfect. Like I said earlier, best start to a Jazzfest ever.

Another highlight for me, from a couple years ago...and just a few minutes after this I went to grab a po boy and walked right by Ani DiFranco just walking through the crowd....

Also, I love that lineup of the Meters with George, Art, Leo, and Russel. Tight, tight, tight!

That's what I'd call da bidness.

Secondly, yeah, another favorite quote of mine, "what's jazzfest without a little rain?" (stated with the biggest shitfaced grin ever)  :-D

True, except that 2011 was a Jazzfest without a drop of rain... and it was brilliant!! Thursday was the nicest Jazzfest day ever. High of 72?!?!!?
4 weeks for me too! I've been crawling out of my skin with excitement for this already... So incredibly jacked.

Yeah, heath texted me about that earlier. Solid work. Also, the threadheads foundation, i.e. the jazzfest boards folks are involved in this as well.

I might have posted this earlier, but here is the early trailer for it...I REALLY hope this gets completed. I'm puling for the director to get it done.

Good news for me today. As you all may have noticed, I happen to be just a little excited about my New Orleans trip.  I have a student that needs to build hours flying, so in January I presented him with the idea of going to NOLA with my friend Tim and I. The deal was that I'd give him free instruction, and let him rent the plane on my discount (saving him upwards of $700 total), and we would get a free ride. He's been pretty excited about it, and text me last week to confirm. We've been purchasing tickets to late night shows, and really getting everything set.
Today he told me he can't go because he has a final on May 3rd and needs to study.
I guess the 3 month notice, and his 6+ text messages from him to confirm plans wasn't enough.
Airfare to New Orleans right now is over $1000 each way, and I can't drive because I have to fly a trip on the 25th, and the 30th.
I just lost Jazzfest.

Yeah, definitely sarcasm. Sometimes it doesn't translate, but I was so upset I didn't really know what to type.
Also, after reading what I wrote again, the airfare total was wrong. It's 1,000 a piece for round trip tickets, but that's just too rich for my blood.
I appreciate all the thoughts guys, I'm working on alternate plans, but it doesn't look great.

i doubt it would work out since we aren't leaving for NOLA until Friday night both weekends, and coming home on Sunday evening both weekends, but if somehow it benefited you I would gladly give you a lift from Mobile to NOLA.

Just getting around to watching that Mardi Gras Indian video. I'm pretty sure if I were int eh middle of that, I'd end up in a trance. Awesome find.

My tooth was hurting me for a couple weeks, and eating a granola bar the other day, it chipped. Guess there was a crack or something so the added pressure was what was making it painful. Anyhow, the resulting conversation occurred between me and a lady friend:

me: So yeah, it's all good now though, cause it doesn't hurt anymore.
lf: Even so you should probably see a dentist to make sure it doesn't get infected, or expose a nerve or get worse.
me: Yeah, I could, but I don't have insurance so it'd be kind of expensive, it's ok.
lf: didn't you say you got some tax money back recently, use that.
me: I would, but I was going to use that to buy the trombone shorty jazzfest poster.
lf: hahahahahahaha
me: (silence)
lf: (realizes I'm not joking) You're serious? Don't be an idiot, make an appointment.

So eddie vedder v. esperanza v. astral project?

dirty dozen v. dumpstaphunk? Henry Butler

honey island v. runnin pardners?

And that's just the first day.  :-(

any questions?

As for that first selection, with Eddie Vedder canceling his tour, it made it easier. I've seen Astral Project 3 or 4 times, only seen Esperanza once, and it looks like she's doing the entire new album, o I'll be seeing her. Unless of course they replace Vedder with someone even more mind blowing than Esperanza!  :-o

ALSO:
As for the last day, as much as I love closign it out with the Neville's, the Pres Hall celebration is gonna be chock full o goodies

...Featuring a number of special guests:

Steve Earle
Jim James of My Morning Jacket
Ani Difranco
Allen Toussaint
Trombone Shorty
Bonnie Raitt
Wendell Eugene
Lionel Ferbos
...and More to be Announced

It does suck that Vedder canceled his tour, but it's not like there are easy choices to make anyway at that time.

We went to catch UM last night at the HOB, so we got there early to hand out for FQF. Man talk about a kick ass time! I'm thinking next year I might sacrifice a weekend of jazzfest for a full FQF weekend. It would be pretty sweet to have a hotel in the quarter, just walk outside and free live music is everywhere around you. We walked down Frenchmen late night and it was BUMPIN.

If NOLA music is your priority, I don't think it gets any simpler then FQF. You don't get the BNA but you can go to other festivals for that.

Umphreys destroyed it as well. I haven't seen much UM but I'm going to continue to follow their career. Excited to be catching them at hangout and bonnaroo.

This is horrible. I've never even been to Jazzfest before, and I can't think of anything else at work today but leaving a week from Thursday.
As a sign of awesomeness, I was at a shady pool hall last night, and they had a jukebox.
Mainly classic rock / Nickelback, shitty radio rock etc...

Looks like there's a GA Standing Room Floor option... That sounds good. As for the night Parish shows, I'm sure we'd be fine, but if I like to only grab tickets you're 100% positively going to be at. Otherwise, most things you can grab the night of, and even if it is sold out, there's a million other shows to hit up. That said, I've never not got into a show I wanted to be at. I'll email you in the am.

For the record we are front row mezzanine. taking advantage of the luxury of chairs at a night show.

I'm sure I could sneak onto the floor if need be though. if not I'll just leap from the balcony during "the buckets got a hole in it".

Galactic @Tips 5/5 is already sold out on ticket web. They release more at the door?

Em and I are going to be doin the jamcruise street team thing in exchange for a couple guest list spots. Maybe we can get in that way.....

NO. Unlike the Howlin Wolfe and a few other spots that will keep selling tickets all night long, because people come and go throughout the night, Tips, sells out and that's that. I just wish there was something else to do at 2am on a Saturday in New Orleans, like eric lindell at dba, or new mastersounds at hob, maybe even  am sessions with george porter at the parrish. Could always hit up  funk n stay up with johnny v and nigel hall at maple leaf, or possibly bonerama at maison, or even budos band at republic.  :wink:

About midway through second weekend last year, as I had my tenth cochon, I decided to try it with cracklin on top. didn't take away from the glory, but totally unnecessary.

my food list

Po Boys:
crabmeat
soft shell
cochon de lait
crawfish sausage
cajun duck

Others:
the holy trinity (Crawfish Sack, Oyster Patties, Crawfish Beignets)
mango freeze
rosemint iced tea
pheasant, quail & andouille gumbo
cracklins
boiled crawfish
fried plantains
boudin balls

Given that I start and end my fest experience with a cochon, that means 7 po boys...4 days...should be possible.

Yeah, pretty sure I did this as well, but it's not necessary.

The only thing that might possibly add to the glory that is the cochon, and heath can attest to this, is some steamed gulf shrimp. Doesn't sound like it'd make sense, but man oh man, would that be something.

Man, I wish you were coming 2nd weekend. You're gonna have a great time regardless, but after you get back, we'll start talking about next year, I'm fairly certain you'll be hooked.

In the meantime, looks like your saturday is gonna be tough around 3, with Irvin Mayfield, Walter Wiolfman Washington and 101 Runners playing at the same time, but maybe hit up the first two early, and head to 101 runners at the end, cause you're gonna wanna stick around there for Midnite Disturbers set right after fo sho! In between grab some grub right around the corner from that stage. Sunday you got a lot going on with dr john, t shorty, PGF, treme, ellis, big chief, I don't know what your end of day plans were but def check out some of tuba tuba as well...

I've been trying to seem em for like 3 years now. What sucks is they're playing in Austin tonight with Willie Nelson and bunch of others for this Johnny Cash tribute but tix are $130 for standing room only - seats started at $150 and went up from there. It's gonna be an amazing show, but I can't justify that shit.

I paid about that much to see Bob Dylan and Merle Haggard play a benefit show in Des Moines about 6 years ago. Pricey, but the money was going to a great writer for the Des Moines Register who was dying of cancer. That was the only way I could justify it.

you missed the rad's by a year. last performance was to close out the Gentilly stage last year.

But yeah, I don't have jam on, just explore music online and check out bands. Looking for some outliers for next weekend to catch while others might be crowding the larger stages.

My father-in-law is heading out today with my brother-in-law (Burmese Python)...I am all kinds of jealous.  They are all kinds of stoked.  Once I finally convinced my father-in-law to go, he won;t miss one.  It's his kind of scene.  Hopefully I'll go back next year, but I am already going to NO for a week in October to visit my peeps so not sure if JF will work, but I want to make it work.....

Henry Butler is playing a midnight solo set at Pres Hall on 5/4......


yeah, saw that, as part of their midnite preserves. I've never been to one of those. Usually am way to jacked up at that point to sit through a quieter set. What are you thinking, or were you just throwing it out there?


Ya I was just throwing it out there. Seems like it could be a helluva powerful experience but slowing things down thy much at midnight seems tough. I am still open on Friday until 2am.

On someone's flagpole? You ever see the headless hornman dancing, that's a threadhead, hung with him and his wife quite a bit at bear creek. Had a propane heater set up about halfway up the pole that was PERFECT for dancing under in the cold.

Ah yes! That IS weird. Maybe he's only able to do 2nd weekend this year? Hopefully nothings wrong.

Anyhow, I usually wait til like 1 or 2am the night before fest to start packing, so I can sleep on the flight, but I'm so excited this year, I'm starting this afternoon.

Also, the weather for 2nd weekend looks, goddamn fantastic, possibly even a little rain for Thursday!

Thur 82/71 isolated t-storms

With abut 2 hours of sleep, today was a slow day. Acura stage was packed to the gills from the start. I parked it there with my buddy's parents and waited for Bruce. Of course waiting for bruce meant seeing trombone shorty and dr. John.

I know people have mixed feeling about the boss around here, but I gotta say, it was a really great show. 50,000 people moving as one in that space. There is really nothing better. Nothing.

For food... Begneit's and iced cafe au lait. Crawfish streudel. Natchedoches meat pie. Creole stuffed bread. Then a huge roast beef poboy once we got out of there.

I have a 6am flight tomorrow. Gonna suck donkey balls.

Quote"With this intimate history of clubs, musicians and festivals, Jay Mazza places you on the bar stool, the street corner and the dance floor-the best vantage points for understanding the changes on the music scene of the 1980s and 1990s. An invaluable key to understanding life in New Orleans at the end of the 20th century."-Brian Boyles, Director of Public Relations and Programs, Louisiana Endowment for the Humanities

"Anyone interested in what's been happening on the New Orleans music scene over the last thirty years should take a jump down this rabbit hole. Told from the perspective of someone who was actually front and center, Jay Mazza has compiled his mountain of published articles, notes, recollections and musings into an intriguing overview of a period of New Orleans music that has, for the most part, been neglected."-Reggie Scanlan, bassist for Professor Longhair, James Booker, the Radiators and the New Orleans Suspects

Check this, today's officially International Jazz Day, celebrated with a sunrise concert at Armstrong Park.

QuoteOnly in New Orleans could you get hundreds of people to wake up early on a Monday morning for a jazz concert - especially after three days of intense music and partying for the first weekend of the 2012 New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival.

Entertainers included Herbie Hancock, Treme Brass Band, Kermit Ruffins, Dr. Michael White, Terernce Blanchard, and Ellis Marsalis.


Also, as a sidenote, I didn't see heath's  :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: post until after alreadt posting mine, but it seems we hit that wall of holy shit it's about to happen around the same time  :hereitisyousentimentalbastard

Not in Canada yet. In MIA. I hate this place.

The mj show was sick, actually. Better than any Greyboy show I've seen in a couple of years. They were having fun with it and it showed. Of course, I was in the right frame of mind for it, too. That helped. I'll tell yall about it on Thursday.

The concert from Congo Square was the soundtrack to my ride to the airport this morning... Broadcast live over WWOZ. Very cool, indeed. Had I stayed in Nola for the week, I would have been there for sure.

The crowd was downright rowdy by the sounds of it. Safe to assume half of the hundreds in attendance had been up through the night at various shows around the city. The mayor said something to that effect and the roar was LOUD. if you're getting rowdy for trad jazz at 7am on a Monday morning, you're officially doing Jazzfest right.

Also of note, April 30th is International Jazz Day as declared by UNESCO... Not just for 2012, either. April 30th will be known as International Jazz Day every year. I love that.

Oh yeah, I gues I forgot the link to the article on that.

And yeah, that's what the mayor said:

QuoteWell, sort of. As Mayor Mitch Landrieu said in his brief remarks opening this sunrise concert kicking off the first-ever UNESCO International Jazz Day, people kept telling him that they couldn't believe all these folks woke up for this.

"I say, 'We never went to bed!'" he quipped, only half-kidding.

Here's the official site, and where you can watch the entire video of the event:

I should probably finally check in here. Thursday, and Friday night we had a great time, but kept our heads somewhat, made shows, etc. Saturday night we decided to go out for a good dinner, and then hit a show before GBA plays MJ. After an AWESOME recommendation by GAH of Redfish Grill, we hit up Bourbon Street for the first time. We hit up Felixes for some insane oysters (after a substantial but well worth it wait), then got dinner at Redfish. Here we split the alligator sausage gumbo, 6 bbq oysters (the best fried oysters I've ever had - seriously like an orgasm in the mouth), then split some redfish ravioli, and a jambalaya that made me lose my mind. We basically had a buffet on the table at this point. This is where the night takes a turn.

While waiting for a table, we somehow meet this guy and his wife in the bar, and she starts asking us about politics, specifically "do you like Obama?" We answer yes, and all Hell breaks loose. Bad idea. Anyway, after sparring with this dude's wife (in a half-joking way), this guy is trying to break the tension, and they call our number. Thank God. -Back to the table now-
Guy walks up to our table, asks if we tried the oysters he recommended, and we told him how great they were. He orders us another dozen because "my wife is passed out now, and can't harass anyone anymore". We somehow get those down, and in the process drink a few hurricanes. Bad idea. I forgot how potent those things are.

*Fast forward to 3 hours later* We've hit Jesters, Tropical Isle, and pounded heavy drinks like mad men. Completely blew off the early shows, and were ready to hit GBA. On the way to the street car, we meet up with this guy again outside Tropical Isle, and he bought us YET ANOTHER Hand Grenade. That's about all I remember before my alarm goes off to get up for festival the next morning. We did EXACTLY what GAH warned me NOT to do... we played with fire, fucked around and missed GBA play MJ. Fucking amateur'd

Holy shit man!  :hereitisyousentimentalbastard I must have deleted it, but that was my exact text to you when you mentioned getting a hand grenade! It was way too early in the night for that kind of nonsense when you had GBA/MJ still to get to. Ah well, truth be told, I've missed a few late late night shows myself for the same reason. Lesson learned.

Glad you had a rocking time tho! Also, we'll be expecting you next year, 2nd weekend of course.  :-D

As I was checking out of my mississauga, Ontario hotel, Dr. John's version of Something You Got was playing on the Muzak system in the hotel lobby. Put my head right back in NOLA. I'm on my way, baby!

Btw, I just heard Dr. John sing this very tune with the E. Street Band on Sunday afternoon. Yup.

Also, I'm less than 24 hours away from my next cochon!

Lettuce on WWOZ, also, good.

Trying to plan out my days with the grids and cubes, while at work knowing I'll be doing these things tomorrow makes it VERY tough to concentrate.

Another successful Jazzfest in the bag. Whew. I am spent. I think jp, gah and wtu had an epic night last night. Hoping for some #1's.

Funky Meters busted out Turn on Your Lovelight. Beautiful! My parents survived their first Jazzfest! Success all around.

Times. They were good. And they were had.

Pictures, stories, etc to come. Right now, it's sleepy time down south.

BTW, here's the party that was happening up the street when we walked back that one day:

Well, I just woke up from sleeping about 15 hours..... which is about 30% MORE sleep than I got the entire Thurs-Mon in New Orleans.  Holy crap I love that city, and couldn't be happier with my first visit.  I've never been to a city before that encouraged you to rage all night long as much as NOLA did -- it felt like an entire city was on my normal sleep schedule for one, it was nice!  Was awake until sunrise every day (and well past sat & sun) and made it to the fest all four days.  I've never seen more music crammed into 96 hours in my entire life -- not anything close, really! And more importantly, I couldn't have done it with a better group of people. JPhishman, his lady, goodabouthood, and I squeezed every damn ounce of fun out of our time there as possible. Also great to see PIE-GUY every day at the fest and run into postjack @ Preservation Hall Jazz Band  :beers:  This place breeds good people!

I've never been to a city that loves music as much as NOLA. You can feel it.  The genuine love for music of all kinds, and an appreciation for the artists who create it is so apparent. And GOOD music.  Not once did I hear shitty rap, pop or techno music playing at bars or around town --- everywhere is playing funk, soul, jazz and old fashioned New Orleans grooves! LOVED IT! Every-other bar you walk into on Frenchman street (the area we stayed in) has free music with some rockin' band that you've likely never heard of! So much talent in that city.  Oh, and did I mention you can drink in the streets? Basically worth visiting for that alone....

I really saw SO much music over the weekend a lot of it is kind of a blur. We usually wouldn't spend more than 30 minutes or so at a particular stage during the fest which seemed to be the best way to do it -- being there's so much going on at once. MMJ was only act the entire weekend I didn't enjoy (don't get the love for them -- so boring...) and my musical highlights during the day of the fest were: Herbie Hancock (duh) Astral Project (amazing drummer) Preservation Hall Jazz Band (so much genuine love for that band in NOLA) and the Funky Meters -- who we're probably my favorite act of the trip because they we're basically the only band I saw that REALLY JAMMED in the way that gets me off.  My only complaint of the weekend was the lack of type 2 jams. They didn't really exist, and that is what REALLY does it for me musically. Don't get me wrong, all the music I saw was amazing, I enjoyed it and they are all very talented musicians, but NO ONE JAMS. I don't get it. Where is the musical exploration? There are "solos"... and there is deep, thick, groove oriented funk..... there is tons of SOUL.... but no full-band jamming in the way that really blows my mind. I guess I need to look elsewhere for that....

As far as post-fest late night activities goes, Galactic at Tipitina's took the cake for me.  That place rocked so hard until the sun was coming up! Oh, and GAH hooks us all up with VIP (I'll let him share the story...)  Then post-Galactic we ended up at a fully packed bar drinking bloody Marys until 7-8 am. Only in NOLA....

Well that's all I got for now, so much more happened but I'll let some of the others fill in the holes. There is NO QUESTION in my mind that I will be returning to NOLA many more times in my life!

I'm still trying to catch up with work, sleep, and wrap my mind around how you even begin to explain last weekend... BUT, I wanted to note, Sunday night we should have hit up Dumpstaphunk at Tips as well. The Neville Bros all showed up, and it became a Neville show with Dumpstaphunk as the backing band, and Trombone Shorty sitting in for good measure. Are you kidding me? Goddamn that city.   :frustrated:

It does. Also, I pulled the trigger on the remarque poster.

ETA: you see the drummers sittig on one of those exercise balls! ha ha!

Another ETA: One of my favorite moments of the weekend, a pause in the funk for some soul, me heath and his lady were about 5 or 6 feet to the right of this guy, right in front of GPJ for the first 45 mins or so of this show. (scott was in the back macking the cougars :hereitisyousentimentalbastard )

jazzfest is awesome. i know i only did partial of both weekends but doing two weekends is amazing and exhausting.

here is a video shot from my 4S of Jim James with PHJB:

http://youtu.be/nvmRMJqGeOY

it was so awesome seeing everybody! so glad aphineday texted me and I ended up at Mickey Hart first weekend, was an unexpectedly magical experience for me. to see Hart ramble about the sun's energy and star clusters during Space really was a dream come true. :clap:

other highlights included PHBJ in the People's Health tent, Jon Cleary and the AMG on Acura, MMJ on 2nd Saturday, Galactic on Acura 2nd Sunday, and the olives in the brass pass tent.

Loving those am sessions clips. George has taken over for Kraz as my #1 guy in music right now. I'm still reflecting heavily on the weekend in search of ways to describe what it did for me. I should get a recap up sometime next week. For now I'll just say this: I've spent the last couple of days online looking at investment properties in NOLA.

yeah I am constantly formulating plans to move to NOLA. it would be easy since I live so close.

That's definitely the dream, moving there. I realized this weekend though that I'd have to have absolute and total control over my demons though to live there full time. It's a helluvamazing payoff to fight for though.

GPJ...yes. He elevated this weekend from just another musician I admire greatly, to a person I look up to and respect as a person of deeper faith and strength.

Another highlight this weekend....

ARRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOGAAAAAH!

We got a couple good pics there. It was completely happenstance how we ended up there too. Just randomly walking through the  neighborhood off esplanade, then ironically, after finding Pauger, taking a few pics, started walking again and ended up BACK on esplanade. So it was like the universe got us lost and took us there ONLY to run into that street, and then returned us back to our normal path. Magic like that happened on the reg this trip.

This is correct. Lions, giraffes, and tigers. But that's about it. Maybe an elephant or two.

But it is ridiculous that in my delusional sleep deprived state, that's what I was remembering, this African dolphin mask.  :hereitisyousentimentalbastard

I'm just getting started, but I can see how it can be addictive even if you're not attending.

I have many posters from concerts I didn't attend.  I enjoy the Jazzfest posters as a slice of Americana.

They are that - and they are certainly a solid investment.

Got mine the other day as well, might be another few weeks before I can get it framed though, but still...super stoked and am already thinking about which one to purchase next (uncle lionel, phillip frazier, or kermit).

Anyhow, I'm glad I went to Galactic 2nd Saturday night, but there's part of me that wishes I'd gone back tot he Parish for round 2 of the A.M. Sessions. Definitely would've happened if I hadn't gotten miracled that Tips ticket. In any case, check some of the Saturday AM Sessions video's here:

So, I don't know if you're friends with GPJ on facebook, but he's been in court all last week and all this week regarding the lawsuit with the former manager for PBS. It's a freaking mess and GPJ is at risk of losing his song publishing rights if the lawsuit succeeds... they are the only thing he has of value and they could go to this a-hole mgr who suing them.

Fingers crossed for the guy... >>>>>>VIBES<<<<<<<

I'm not on the book, but I've been following along on the thread over at the jazzfest boards as into the proceedings. I still don't think I understand what it's about tho. Its the manager of PBS that's suing them over money he didn't receive for some tours they did?

I'm not 100% certain, but I think he's claiming he invested a bunch of money in PBS thinking they would become some big touring juggernaut and they decided to sever ties and break the contract before he was able to recoup all his investment... but they didn't ask him to invest all that money and they claim they didn't breech the contract in any way.

I didn't even know this was going on. Thanks for the report... definitely sending vibes to GPJ. Saw him 3 nights at Jazzfest... mind blowingly good. Karl Denson/GPJ/Johnny Vidacovich was probably my highlight. Just blew the roof off the Maple Leaf.

I'm telling you right now, I'll be there 2nd weekend. Someday I'll be big pimpin' and do both weekends, but until then, you can ALWAYS count on me being there, I start planning before artists are even announced.

December: book flight

as usual everyone on the internet hates it, and as usual the festival will still be completely packed out and no one will be able to pee because there are like 12 portalets. lets do this! :clap:

And Neil is a GREAT get, and I have no problem with seeing Jack White again. I like EDM so the festival moving in even a more EDM direction is fine with me, and the slew of local talent means there will always be somebody playing I want to see.

There's some good name local acts on there, but none of the big names that I'd be interested in seeing. But then, if I'm just going for the local acts anyhow, why go on a weekend where there's going to be a mad influx of tourists (well, more than normal at least). Nah, if I'm going to make a 2nd trip a year to NOLA in the fall, I'd rather it be just an off weekend, and I'll likely til get to see just as many great local acts as I might otherwise.

(although the one that really stands out would be to see johnny v, james singleton doing a james booker tribute., missed that this fest as well, as it was one of the 3 am maple leaf shows)

Thanks everybody. It's actually done on wood and each color separately soaked into the wood. Kind of hard to explain without showing you the details of it, but needless to say, I'm very happy. I've had a poster by this same artist (Darrin Butler) for years, but was finally in a place to buy an original.

ETA: Don't mind the bubble wrap or the card still in there, I just haven't decided where to put it yet so didn't want to unwrap it completely. Also, don't mind the fact that I'm naked.

Was that from something recent, or just a random photo you found?

I woke up the other day parched as hell and babbling to Emily about Rosemint iced tea. Honestly it is probably the most refreshing beverage I've ever had. Has anyone here attempted to replicate it at home?

I found this link saying it is a custom blend of Celestial Seasonings Red Zinger tea...

http://blog.nola.com/recipes/2007/05/rosemint_tea.html (http://blog.nola.com/recipes/2007/05/rosemint_tea.html)


It says honey is the secret ingredient, but I like the unsweetened best anyway....

I have my doubts it will be that simple, but I'm on my way to the store and determined to find out. Will report back.

and once I get it right, I'll pour some out for Uncle Lionel.

Been having NOLA dreams like mad lately. Last week it was the Rosemint epiphany. Also had one about Big Sam at Blue Nile. Last night was not so joyous though, Hurricane Rita.

Clearly, I need to go back.

So last year, when I had the brass pass, it was Sunday and I was on the verge of collapsing and so stepped into the WWOZ tent for some fruit and water and a seat in the shade. Well, I just sat down at this table, totally out of it, and look up and Uncle Lionel's looking at me, and says, boy you don't look so good. And I laughed and was like, nope, not feeling so good, but it's not everyday you sit down at the same table as a legend, how's about a pic, and he said sure. I can't seem to find it, but I know it's posted on here elsewhere. In any case, RIP.

eta: ehre it is


moments before i made the decision it was time to go, sitting in the wwoz tent eating watermelons with the treme brass band, and uncle lionel says, you ain't lookin so hot son

dude... couldn't find the red zinger at any store within 10 miles of my house so I ordered a 6 pack off Amazon.....

still waiting....

My mom wants me to visit her family in Dallas October 5,6,7. As I write this I'm looking at a flight into Dallas on the 5th and out of NOLA on the 14th. Same weekend of Blues and BBQ but I would be in NOLA by myself, with a car from 10/8-10/14.

If I make it through this day without pulling the trig, it will be a miracle.


ETA: As much as I love having Emily with me no matter what I'm doing. We're pretty much due for a NOLA Bro-down.

Sound about right.  :banana: Just a quick look up shows flight for Thursday thru Sunday for under $400. Hmmm........It would also mean skipping the oak mtn > atl >charlotte run though. I need to think about this.

QuotePreservation Hall Jazz Band Readies 50th Anniversary Box Set

New Orleans legends Preservation Hall Jazz Band have announced the upcoming release of their 50th Anniversary Collection. The 4-CD, 58-track deluxe box set will feature five previously unreleased tracks recorded between the '60s and the '80s, which have been restored after being damaged during Hurricane Katrina. The collection draws from the Preservation Hall Jazz Band's 19 albums recorded and released between 1962 and 2010 and also includes tracks from a bonus CD with special guests Andrew Bird, Tom Waits, Pete Seeger and Yim Yames of My Morning Jacket.

The box set will also feature song-by-song annotations by Ben Jaffe, longtime producer of the band and son of founding member Allan Jaffe. Jaffe wrote various personal anecdotes in his notes, with one telling the story of Pete Seeger and grandson Tao's collaboration with the band:

Mr. Seeger was a hero to my parents. He was an inspiration to them, a guiding light, and acted as a steadfast moral gauge. I remember meeting Mr. Seeger for the first time almost 30 years ago late at night, down on the Canal Street wharf on the SpanishPlaza right where the U.S.S. President used to dock. During Jazz Fest, there used to be late night shows on the President. Mr. Seeger was sitting by the dock. He and our Dad exchanged a few niceties. I remember Mr. Seeger putting me on his lap and singing me a lullaby. It felt like being back in the womb. Being at Preservation Hall, playing 'We Shall Overcome' with Mr. Seeger and his grandson Tao, was one of the most beautiful and proudest moments of my life. I think our Dad would have really enjoyed being there that day.

Through the varied collection of songs from throughout the band's long career and Ben Jaffe's annotations, the set offers a comprehensive history of the legendary group and serves as a tribute to the late Allan Jaffe. Details on the collection, which will be available September 25, are below.

Hit up Artscape! in Baltimore, yesterday, for Rebirth. I could of swore that actor Wendell Pierce, was sitting in with them, towards the end of their set. He is from NOLA, plays trombone in Treme, and was in the Wire. I gotta check the pics on my gf's phone, to see if we got one of him. I know we got a lil video, if it's audable, I'll post here.

Was next to a guy carrying a pic of Uncle Lionel. He had several others, that he showed us after the set. And had just come back from the funeral. The second line has been postponed to today, at 11am. I found this article looking for pics of the set from yesterday, thought you'd all enjoy!

Oh, being at Artscape! yesterday, is the closest thing to being in NOLA. I had a fried oyster po-boy, right before the band started their festival-closing set. All in all, it was a great day in B-more.

Also, just looked up Artscape, looks really fun. Will have to keep that in mind for next year. Looks a lot like Raleigh's Artsplosure.

A Hancher event.

As anyone in New Orleans would argue, a party just isn't a party without the perfect band. That's why Hancher is bringing the Preservation Hall Jazz Band—Hancher's opening performers in 1972—back to Iowa for a series of seven free outdoor concerts and a red hot 40th anniversary celebration. Named for the esteemed music venue in the heart of New Orleans' French Quarter, the Preservation Hall Jazz Band is a true national treasure. Hailed as "America's Best Traditional Jazz Band" by All About Jazz, the group has been a driving force in American music ever since its inception in 1961, counting jazz royalty like Jelly Roll Morton and Louis Armstrong among its distinguished alumni. Now in its 51st year, this national treasure continues to honor the dirty rags, mournful blues, and laid back swing that form jazz's legacy.

I've been checking flights the last few weeks, and they're ridiculous right now....

Oh yes, this is most excellent news.
It's cancelable for sure - Four Points in the French Quarter.
Definitely keep me in the loop on a house!
