[Dixielandjazz] Jazz Takes a Back Seat at N.O. J & H.

[Jim Irvin]

At $45 per day, the NOJ&H Festival has gotten a bit pricey, and though I live in New Orleans, I rarely go. But it is an experience most lovers of a wide variety of contemporary music would enjoy. And if you want to limit yourself to OKOM, you can just camp out in the Economy Hall Tent for six or seven hours' worth. Neither in the tent or outside of it have I encountered any horse manure.

The so-called "Jazz and Heritage Festival" long ago abandoned jazz - at 
least as long ago as the "and Heritage" was added to the name. It is held at 
the Fairgrounds, a horse race track. So - you get to pay an exhorbitant 
price for a ticket to not hear jazz while you wade through horse manure.

Much better from the perspective of OKOM is the "French Quarter Festival" in 
April. Stages are set up throughout the Quarter and local bands play with no 
ticket required.

deserve neither freedom nor security.

I don't see this article  the DJML. It is the one that prompted
Marek's response. If it appears, sorry for the duplication. Courtesy
of Norman Vickers who posted it on  another list to which Marek and I
belong.
