Here is the beginning of the posts by Rope from last year. Thank you, good sir, for bringing this to our attention.
They were taken from a book called JAZZ FEST MEMORIES written by Allison Miner & Michael Peter Smith. These excerpts are by her. For anyone interested in getting the book, I’’m sure you will be able to see a copy in the books tent on the fairgrounds. I’’ve noticed that there is also a bit of a deal on Amazon.com, combining it with another photo book called NEW ORLEANS JAZZ FEST, A PICTORIAL HISTORY by Michael Peter Smith & Ben Sandmel.
For the newbies, once you spend some time at the Fest, I think you will find a spirit of generosity teamed with a shared love of music that may be unique to this festival. It may come from that comon feeling of excitement of hearing something new, of a discovery of pleasure that was a total surprise. (both in sound and taste buds). The ““HERATAGE”” part of its title is the key. This city with its history and culture has been the foundation for so many different kinds of wonderful music that to celebrate it ALL is really something special. That’’s IT, you go to hear one kind of music, and can’’t help but discover the total fun of something completely new as well. That’’s why you see 5, 10 & 15 year veterans on this board. That’’s why ““name”” acts that draw are only part of the story, the part that pays the salaries of zillions of musicians.
The reason for saying all this is, as you read these several posts of text written by Allison Minor, you’’ll get a good idea of where this spirit came from. Enjoy.
from ““Jazz Fest Memories”” by Allison Miner
INTRODUCTION
It was 1969, the end of the psychedelic era; the Beatles White Album was popular and the Chicago Transit Authority was wondering if anybody really knew what time it was. I had been in New Orleans for two years, happily working for Dick Allen in the (copy & paste glitch) the line asked, "May I speak to Dick Allen? This is George Wein."
"Oh," I answered. "You're the man who's going to be doing the jazz festival. Dick has asked me if I would like to be involved, and I know you're looking for young people to help."
George's very next words were: "Yes, we're looking for young people who want to be exploited."
I said, "Well, great. I have a friend named Quint Davis who's a real expert on rhythm and blues and contemporary jazz, and I know a lot about traditional jazz and country blues. So, yeah, I'd love to meet with you."
Our first meeting was at Cafe Du Monde, and over coffee and beignets I sort of "signed up." So did Quint. Now all we had to do was everything else that it would take to put the first New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival together. The next step was to go out and get the music. - Allison Minor 1949-1995
PART 1
OUT AND ABOUT
The music scene in New Orleans was mainly Bourbon Street and disco.To book the music for the first festival, we went to the only places that live music was really happening: the black clubs. We went to the Night Cap Lounge, on Louisiana Avenue, and the Off Limits, where Willie Tee and Earl Turbinton played. We had no contracts, just our voices and ourselves. We would go and hang out, drink a beer, dance, talk to people, and just be friends. That has always been one of the secrets of the success of the fesival; from the beginning it has always been about people, not money or tremendous crowds or national acclaim but wonderful people whom I've always been proud to call my friends.
We did our fieldwork by telephone, and unfortunately I didn't have one. We would go to All Good's Restaurant across from Touro Infirmary and use their pay phone to make our calls. I remember calling Snooks Eaglin at his mother-in-law's house. Dick Allen had given us the number. Snooks was the first person we booked for the fesival. At that time he was a street singer. He didn't play in any clubs, just for neighborhood groups and churches. Snooks played at the first festival and has played at every fesival since. Another musician who came on board at the very beginning and has played every year since is Clancy ("Blues Boy") Lewis. He was at the Triangle Lounge in Gert Town, and he was fantastic.
At that time no one else was "out and about." Integration laws had just been passed, and people like Allen and Sandra Jaffe were getting arrested for having black people in Preservation Hall. So here we were, two young people trying to put on a multiethnic music festival, and that had never been done before in the Deep South city of New Orleans.
On Sunday mornings we would listen to live church-radio broadcasts, and the shows would announce the concerts for the afternoon. One Sunday we heard that there was to be a program of gospel music at St. John's Institutional Baptist Church at four o'clock. Of course, we went and that afternoon we met the Zion Harmonizers and Lois DeJean for the first time. They became part of the festival that day and have been part of it ever since. I fondly remember another Sunday when we visited a Sanctified church off of Airline Highway that Larry Borenstein had told us about. There we met Elder Ott and the Ott Family Singers. We became friends immediately. Elder Ott is on the Jazz Festival staff today, still working hard to make the Gospel Tent a wonderfully spiritual experience.

Thank you for posting this important history -- I love rereading Allison's recount. For those interested, a new book detailing the history of the Jazz Festival is coming out around the first of next week, and will be available at the Fest Book Tent. As a matter of fact, the book was produced by the person who started the book tent in the mid 1980s. If anyone wants to know more, I'll be glad to post. Have a great time at the Fest!

Here is the beginning of the posts by Rope from last year. Thank you, good sir, for bringing this to our attention.
They were taken from a book called JAZZ FEST MEMORIES written by Allison Miner & Michael Peter Smith. These excerpts are by her. For anyone interested in getting the book, I’’m sure you will be able to see a copy in the books tent on the fairgrounds. I’’ve noticed that there is also a bit of a deal on Amazon.com, combining it with another photo book called NEW ORLEANS JAZZ FEST, A PICTORIAL HISTORY by Michael Peter Smith & Ben Sandmel.
For the newbies, once you spend some time at the Fest, I think you will find a spirit of generosity teamed with a shared love of music that may be unique to this festival. It may come from that comon feeling of excitement of hearing something new, of a discovery of pleasure that was a total surprise. (both in sound and taste buds). The ““HERATAGE”” part of its title is the key. This city with its history and culture has been the foundation for so many different kinds of wonderful music that to celebrate it ALL is really something special. That’’s IT, you go to hear one kind of music, and can’’t help but discover the total fun of something completely new as well. That’’s why you see 5, 10 & 15 year veterans on this board. That’’s why ““name”” acts that draw are only part of the story, the part that pays the salaries of zillions of musicians.
The reason for saying all this is, as you read these several posts of text written by Allison Minor, you’’ll get a good idea of where this spirit came from. Enjoy.
from ““Jazz Fest Memories”” by Allison Miner
INTRODUCTION
It was 1969, the end of the psychedelic era; the Beatles White Album was popular and the Chicago Transit Authority was wondering if anybody really knew what time it was. I had been in New Orleans for two years, happily working for Dick Allen in the (copy & paste glitch) the line asked, "May I speak to Dick Allen? This is George Wein."
"Oh," I answered. "You're the man who's going to be doing the jazz festival. Dick has asked me if I would like to be involved, and I know you're looking for young people to help."
George's very next words were: "Yes, we're looking for young people who want to be exploited."
I said, "Well, great. I have a friend named Quint Davis who's a real expert on rhythm and blues and contemporary jazz, and I know a lot about traditional jazz and country blues. So, yeah, I'd love to meet with you."
Our first meeting was at Cafe Du Monde, and over coffee and beignets I sort of "signed up." So did Quint. Now all we had to do was everything else that it would take to put the first New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival together. The next step was to go out and get the music. - Allison Minor 1949-1995
PART 1
OUT AND ABOUT
The music scene in New Orleans was mainly Bourbon Street and disco.To book the music for the first festival, we went to the only places that live music was really happening: the black clubs. We went to the Night Cap Lounge, on Louisiana Avenue, and the Off Limits, where Willie Tee and Earl Turbinton played. We had no contracts, just our voices and ourselves. We would go and hang out, drink a beer, dance, talk to people, and just be friends. That has always been one of the secrets of the success of the fesival; from the beginning it has always been about people, not money or tremendous crowds or national acclaim but wonderful people whom I've always been proud to call my friends.
We did our fieldwork by telephone, and unfortunately I didn't have one. We would go to All Good's Restaurant across from Touro Infirmary and use their pay phone to make our calls. I remember calling Snooks Eaglin at his mother-in-law's house. Dick Allen had given us the number. Snooks was the first person we booked for the fesival. At that time he was a street singer. He didn't play in any clubs, just for neighborhood groups and churches. Snooks played at the first festival and has played at every fesival since. Another musician who came on board at the very beginning and has played every year since is Clancy ("Blues Boy") Lewis. He was at the Triangle Lounge in Gert Town, and he was fantastic.
At that time no one else was "out and about." Integration laws had just been passed, and people like Allen and Sandra Jaffe were getting arrested for having black people in Preservation Hall. So here we were, two young people trying to put on a multiethnic music festival, and that had never been done before in the Deep South city of New Orleans.
On Sunday mornings we would listen to live church-radio broadcasts, and the shows would announce the concerts for the afternoon. One Sunday we heard that there was to be a program of gospel music at St. John's Institutional Baptist Church at four o'clock. Of course, we went and that afternoon we met the Zion Harmonizers and Lois DeJean for the first time. They became part of the festival that day and have been part of it ever since. I fondly remember another Sunday when we visited a Sanctified church off of Airline Highway that Larry Borenstein had told us about. There we met Elder Ott and the Ott Family Singers. We became friends immediately. Elder Ott is on the Jazz Festival staff today, still working hard to make the Gospel Tent a wonderfully spiritual experience.

Thank you for posting this important history -- I love rereading Allison's recount. For those interested, a new book detailing the history of the Jazz Festival is coming out around the first of next week, and will be available at the Fest Book Tent. As a matter of fact, the book was produced by the person who started the book tent in the mid 1980s. If anyone wants to know more, I'll be glad to post. Have a great time at the Fest!
