This is my first trip to New Orleans and the Jazz Festival and be able to come and be entertained by my musical heroes, and it's live covering a lot of venues across New Orleans


The best experience is listening to live music on the S.S. President steam paddle river boat sailing on the Mississippi River.


I will give you an example of the musicians that entertained the crowds at the Jazz Festival


MUDDY WATERS - LITTLE MILTON - JAMES BROWN - JAMES COTTON - ERNIE K-DOE - IRMA THOMAS - Jr.WALKER - ALAN TOUSSAINT - LUTHER KENT - CHUCK BERRY - LEE DORSEY - JOHNNY ADAMS - CAB CALLOWAY - ROCKIN DOPSIE - RAMSEY LEWIS - NANCY WILSON - CHRIS BARBER - NEVILLE BROS. - DR. JOHN - CRUSADERS -  METERS - TUTS WASINGTON


This was just an example of the artists that covered the ten days of the festival,it was exhausting, but it was fantastic,remember that New Orleans is a 24/7 city,i will be coming back.
