@f00l@ironcheftoni
My collection goes back to '95.
One of the mixed blessings of not being in New Orleans for Katrina. Who knows how many people lost their posters.
Not a big fan of Terrence Osborne, but this one is pretty eye-catching. My favorites are the Rodrigues and the Michaelopolous.
I like the shout out to The St Aug Marching 100 in the background.
Holy shit, that’s a lot of acts! How do you even decide who to see? I wish I knew someone who would go with me. I don’t think it would be smart to go alone, being a girl and all.
@lisagd You get the “cubes”, pick the ones you want to see, choose when two artists you want to see are on at the same time, and then, most importantly, when the day comes, you “do what you wanna” and lean in to wherever you end up and let the music be your muse. There is naught to be gained by fretting over woulda, coulda, shoulda.
Live in the moment. Every one of them will be amazing.
@lisagd
Also, don’t just tag the big names. The local groups are who the big names come here to see at the local venues at night while they’re hanging out. You never know who will be at a concert, either vibing or jumping in on a joint.
Hit all the stages. Fais Do Do, Gospel, Jazz, Blues, not just the Gentilly and Acura stages.
@mike808 There are a few big names I’d want to see, like it’s probably my last chance to see what’s left of the Who, but I love when you can pop in to a place and find a cool band.
@lisagd Make friends with the people staying with you. There are meetup groups that form as well. Plant a flag in a JF forum/group and see if there’s shared interest or experience to meetup at the fest (agree to meet IRL before you go in). Meeting at the flagpole doesn’t work anymore.
Also, prices are in line with years past, about $70/day.
That’s also 1) no re-entry, and 2) no outside drinks.
So more like $120/day. The 3-day weekend passes are $210 early bird.
That said, it certainly has been gentrified, but to be fair, the NOJHF funds a shit-ton of music and heritage grants in the city. The money stays local and does get pushed back into the community, although not always visibly tied to the NOJHF.
Looked at going last year before it cancelled. This year my off weekend is the first weekend. SO tempting, but can’t really get away due to keeping up with elderly mother. IF all goes well she will be at my sister’s next year and I can start to get my life back.
@chienfou same. I may fly down that first weekend if I can manage it. I always try to fly back home close to my birthday. And the first weekend looks amazing. My parents are probably selling their farm and moving up north to be near my sister and me. Might be a good excuse to help them downsize.

@mike808
Omg that poster!
@f00l @mike808 I know! I need new art work after all the home renovations I am doing right now.
@f00l @ironcheftoni
My collection goes back to '95.
One of the mixed blessings of not being in New Orleans for Katrina. Who knows how many people lost their posters.
Not a big fan of Terrence Osborne, but this one is pretty eye-catching. My favorites are the Rodrigues and the Michaelopolous.
I like the shout out to The St Aug Marching 100 in the background.
WOW! I NEED to GO!
I’m sure that would be am awesome time. That’s one place I really want to visit.
POPSOCKETS! ROAD ROCKETS! SONNY CROCKETT! AWESOME!
Holy shit, that’s a lot of acts! How do you even decide who to see? I wish I knew someone who would go with me. I don’t think it would be smart to go alone, being a girl and all.
@lisagd You get the “cubes”, pick the ones you want to see, choose when two artists you want to see are on at the same time, and then, most importantly, when the day comes, you “do what you wanna” and lean in to wherever you end up and let the music be your muse. There is naught to be gained by fretting over woulda, coulda, shoulda.
Live in the moment. Every one of them will be amazing.
@lisagd
look for the cubes to be released late March or early April
@lisagd
Also, don’t just tag the big names. The local groups are who the big names come here to see at the local venues at night while they’re hanging out. You never know who will be at a concert, either vibing or jumping in on a joint.
Hit all the stages. Fais Do Do, Gospel, Jazz, Blues, not just the Gentilly and Acura stages.
@mike808 There are a few big names I’d want to see, like it’s probably my last chance to see what’s left of the Who, but I love when you can pop in to a place and find a cool band.
@mike808 There’s still the issue of my being a single female. I may be overcautious, but I don’t think it’s a good idea to go alone.
@lisagd Make friends with the people staying with you. There are meetup groups that form as well. Plant a flag in a JF forum/group and see if there’s shared interest or experience to meetup at the fest (agree to meet IRL before you go in). Meeting at the flagpole doesn’t work anymore.
Check out http://petdekat.com and http://jazzfest.swagland.com for tips.
@mike808 Thanks, I’ll look into them.
@lisagd Also look at http://jazzfestgrids.com (they’re not out quite yet).
Also, prices are in line with years past, about $70/day.
That’s also 1) no re-entry, and 2) no outside drinks.
So more like $120/day. The 3-day weekend passes are $210 early bird.
That said, it certainly has been gentrified, but to be fair, the NOJHF funds a shit-ton of music and heritage grants in the city. The money stays local and does get pushed back into the community, although not always visibly tied to the NOJHF.
Looked at going last year before it cancelled. This year my off weekend is the first weekend. SO tempting, but can’t really get away due to keeping up with elderly mother. IF all goes well she will be at my sister’s next year and I can start to get my life back.
@chienfou I recorded the streams from the “Fest in Place” that WWOZ broadcast instead.
Whisper me and I’ll hook you up.
There were all amazeballs sets, top to bottom, every day.
PDF
@chienfou same. I may fly down that first weekend if I can manage it. I always try to fly back home close to my birthday. And the first weekend looks amazing. My parents are probably selling their farm and moving up north to be near my sister and me. Might be a good excuse to help them downsize.
If you can’t be there, listen to WWOZ.org.
Also, here in STL, shout out to KDHX.org.
And be prepared to experience some absolutely filthy sax.
For those interested, this is Leo P playing at Albert Hall in London at Prom 53, Charles Mingus Revisited in 2017.
When the grids post, they’ll be at http://jazzfestgrids.com/
In the meantime, tomorrow is the last day of the Cinema on the Bayou Film Festival in Lafayette, LA.
