Bill's Jazz Fest Picks - Day VI
BILL’S JAZZ FEST PICKS – DAY VI
It’s the most wonderful time of the year! No Andy Williams, not Christmas, the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, the unchallenged greatest music and culture event on the planet. People say it is the coolest sloppiest Fest on record… maybe, but the music and the spirit of the guests are warm and welcoming as always.
My hot picks, dedicated to Callie –
If you are planting yourself in 1 spot, make it Fais Do-Do (Goldman Thibodeaux, Red Stick Ramblers, Yvette Landry, Chubby “There Ain’t No Party Like a Chubby Party” Carrier, Little Willies, and Sunpie). A unique way to get things going is with the N. O. Bingo Show. I love me some Roddie Romero and how about the superband Fleur Debris. Busy time around 3 with Sharde Thomas Fife & Drum, Boutte’ Family Gospel, and Eric Lindell. By now you better be awake for the next wave – Galactic, Davell Crawford, and the Joe Krown Trio. Wrap it up with Los Lobos, and there are rumors that most of the popularly known Fleetwod Mac will be closing out Acura. On that note, beware there have been some minor changes to the schedule on that stage today. Today’s “Who dat?” pick is Male Debale of Bahia-Brazil.
Remember to practice the “Walk By”, stroll by the many different stages to see bands that you have never heard of for a song or two. I promise that you will discover something fabulous you never even know existed.
One other thing LA culture lovers, the latest issue of Louisiana Kitchen and Culture (MyLouisianaKitchen.com) has hit the stands and is available at Rouse’s and other fine local establishments. Enjoy my story in it about a Saturday Night Fish Fry – the song, not the meal!

Bill's Jazz Fest Picks - Day II
BILL’S JAZZ FEST PICKS – DAY II
It’s the most wonderful time of the year! No Andy Williams, not Christmas, the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, the unchallenged greatest music and culture event on the planet. I hope you remembered your sunscreen yesterday and were not fooled by the perfect temperature and cloudy skies.
My hot picks, dedicated to Callie –
Ease into today with a bite to eat and a seat in Economy Hall for the 101 year old Lionel Ferbos. Then there is the only in N. O. band Bonerama and the Panorama Jazz Band. Throw in some Rebirth Brass Band, Jon Cleary, and the Original Tuxedo Jazz Band’s tribute Bob French, whom we lost this year. If you are the sort to plant yourself in one spot, I present, for your enjoyment either Fais Do Do (Lost Bayou Ramblers, Dwayne Dopsie, and Andrew Bird) or Acura (Voice of the Wetlands All-Stars, Allen Toussaint, and The Bard of Oyster Bay, Billy Joel). Today’s “Who dat?” pick is Magary Lord of Bahia.

Bill's Jazz Fest Picks - Day 1
BILL’S JAZZ FEST PICKS – DAY I
It’s the most wonderful time of the year! No Andy Williams, not Christmas, Day 1 of the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, the unchallenged greatest music and culture event on the planet.
My hot picks, dedicated to Callie –
Start out with the N. O. Suspects or Freddie Omar; then Paul “The Bard of N. O.” Sanchez & the Rolling Road Show. We got the Soul Rebels and Anders Osborne back-to-back. Then the incomparables Leroy Jones, then Dr. John. A couple under the radar picks – Le Vent du Nord of Canada and the N. O. Guitar Quartet. They tell me Band of Horses is the future of Rock & Roll, I guess I better see them. George Benson breezes by closing Congo and also closing Blues are the Campbell Brothers. Remember to take some time to chill out and listen to the amazing interview stage in the Grandstand. Special shows for me today by Wayne Toups and Terrance Simien, 2 guys I saw at my very first Jazz Fest who were instrumental (of course the pun is intended!) in encouraging my love of Louisiana Music and moving here.
