any of them.

Sorry - I couldn't resist. My advice to anyone who asks this question is - go for someone you haven't seen before - and then go to the show of your most favorite performer.

There is so much that weekend - maybe you check out performers at the night shows that you didn't get to catch on the fairgrounds.

I know that doesn't seem like any help - but without knowing what you like - blues, jazz, both - hard rock - all of it - it's kinda tough.

"There is so much that weekend - maybe you check out performers at the night shows that you didn't get to catch on the fairgrounds."

that is kind of what we try to do.....if there is conflict at the fairgrounds, maybe we can see them at night....

we also like to go to Tips or Maple Leaf...and of course Frenchman St.

its all good...

ck out the other thread....lets talk nite shows...

[dstempo]

ok - too big of a net - understood;-)

If you had to pick two shows for Saturday night - what would it be?

[innertube]

for me:

Carrolton Station....Theresa Anderson....then go to Frenchman St....
Blue Nile...early and late with the New Mastersounds

or

Chickie Wah Wah...Papa Mali Stoned Soul Picnic

Tipitina's....Blind Boys of Alabama plus guests....we will be going to Tips thursday night...so chances are we will go someplace else...but if you have never been to tips..........well............

just depends on what style of music you are looking for...

Since you've got Anders Osborne in your avatar, you might enjoy knowing that Chickie Wah Wah is now listing him as one of the performers at Papa Mali's Stoned Soul Picnic on Saturday, 4/26.


....and just to throw one more show into the mix, that Krown, Batiste, Washington show with Barbara Mason, Eric Krasno and possibly Shamar at the Rusty Nail first Saturday looks like fun!!

IT'S ALMOST JAZZFEST!!!!

Bumping for Funkkjunkie! :D

[Jay Fest]

This is what I love about Jazzfest - ask 20 people who they're going to see and you'll get 18 different answers. And the same is true if you ask 20 people what food they're looking forward to at the fairgrounds.

[Rossvegas]

Hey Jay! Good to see you, man! When are you coming down this year? (You ARE coming down, right?)

[Marc Stone]

Hey guys,

Total self-interest here since I'm the promoter/bandleader on the show, but Saturday night at Old Point not only are we having Betty Harris (who does less club dates in a year than most artists do in a week), but the opener will be Ernie Vincent, harmonica ace Patrick Williams (of Rockin' Dopsie Jr.'s band, Clapton's current first call harp player, and he's playing Little Walter in the Chess Records movie that is currently being filmed here) and myself doing an acoustic set, and I have never seen Ernie do an acoustic set. We jammed acoustic at my house the other day, and man, does Ernie do the old style blues for real. Ernie and Patrick will stick around for the late-nite, post Betty electric set with my band, Rick Trolsen, et al. We will be doing the Dap Walk for sure!

So I hope my recommendation might still ring in your ears, even if I can't claim objectivity. For more info on Betty Harris and the shows at Old Point, please visit my site at www.marcstonemusic.com. Thanks

[papafrog]

saw marc and patrick do an excellent set at the Big Top last week...
Patrick is a killer harp player, and vocalist....

[Marc Stone]

thanks frog! love pat, known him since he was 16 and he has always been great. now he's just beyond, and a nice guy too. n.o. public school teacher to boot.

Sunday night MUST: Leo Nocentelli's Rare Funk Gathering at Tip's, featuring Leo of the Meters, Bernie Worrell of Parliament Funkadelic, and Doug Winbush and Will Calhoun of Living Color.

Leo last played a Fest night show with these musicians at Mama's Blues on Rampart Street in 2003. It was under the radar, wicked and sizzling. I thought it was the best show of the entire Fest.

There's gonna be a ferocious funkgasm at Tipitina's Sunday night!! :D
