[Dixielandjazz] New Orleans? in Bryant Park

[Stephen Barbone]

List mates:

When I first saw this headline in today's NY Times I thought Wow!!!
N.O. Jazz at Bryant Park. (A large public park in NYC).

Then I read it. Rebecca, you were there no? Were these the festival
highlights? Or is this just how the "Trio Cable Network saw/heard it?

Perhaps the 10 hour broadcast this weekend will have some jazz coverage?

Cheers,
Steve Barbone
