MIA from Jazzfest Schedule

[Voodoohead]

I love the lineup this year. But who's missing??

So far I've noticed:
Meters
Soul Rebels Brass Band
Lil' Rascals Brass Band
Red Stick Ramblers

[jailbait vagrant]

yeah, good call on the meters.

Quint Davis, please add the Meters and Widespread Panic to weekend 2!!!!!!

[Cleophus]

No Jazz Vipers either.

[ibjamn]

Shamarr Allen & the Underdawgs

[Michelino]

Missing: Mighty Chariots of Fire

[Rossvegas]

The Nevilles...sigh.

I would have loved to have seen the Charles Neville Jazz Ensemble though!

(For what it is worth, I just received an update from Pollstar about two new Nevilles dates for 2007 (Feb 18th in Beaumont, TX and April 27th in Scottsdale, AZ) You think if they could do a Scottsdale gig on April 27th, they could have...ah, never mind.:>)

[Michelino]

Hebjamn's Now World Famous Crawfish Bread

[Cleophus]

Oops!
Jazz Vipers are on 2nd weekend.
Never mind....

[Michelino]

Thought Christian Scott might get his own set, now that he's nominated for a Grammy. Hopefully, he will be playing with Donald Harrison.

[ibjamn]

Hebjamn's Now World Famous Crawfish Bread


LOL, Mich!!!!

[tangledupinblue]

Hope VINYL is playing at the Maple Leaf this year.

Won't be the same without them!

Would love to see them at the fairgrounds one of these years!

[Voodoohead]

Frankie Ford
Bo Dollis & the Wild Magnolias

[Michelino]

LOL, Mich!!!!

<sounding like Christopher Walken>

I have a fever...and the only prescription... is more Crawfish Bread.

[nick3m2]

No Spencer Bohren...but I think he was added late last year.

[Festvet]

No Jazz Vipers either.
2nd weekend

[Festvet]

Thought Christian Scott might get his own set, now that he's nominated for a Grammy. Hopefully, he will be playing with Donald Harrison.
"Rewind That" has got to be the best cd of the year. Never mind it's his debut!

[ibjamn]

Los Babies Del Merengue

[How_ya_gonna_clap?]

Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't see The Bluerunners.

[ohio]

Joe Krown....

[mendelj2]

Would have loved to see Amanda Shaw on there again...

[Amyloves...]

Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't see The Bluerunners.

Bluerunners are there....first weekend.

[Voodoohead]

Would have loved to see Amanda Shaw on there again...

Is playing the 1st weekend.

[Dr. A.]

the list is so long i may have missed them....nightcrawlers (best horns in nola) and michael ray in some form or another? i am not sure if he is still working in nola very much post-k.

[Corona]

yeah, good call on the meters.

Quint Davis, please add the Meters and Widespread Panic to weekend 2!!!!!!
jailbait I think i love you lol!

[Corona]

Shamarr Allen & the Underdawgs
yes :(
They SHOULD be in that lineup!

[Corona]

No Jazz Vipers either.
Jazz Vipers are there...2nd weekend I think.

[Corona]

<sounding like Christopher Walken>

I have a fever...and the only prescription... is more Crawfish Bread.
bwahahaha!!! That sounds like a commercial :)

[Michelino]

"Rewind That" has got to be the best cd of the year. Never mind it's his debut!

Yeah...If they had "Best New Jazz Performer", he could be already writing his Grammy acceptance speech....Still, he's got some pretty heavy competition for "Best Contemporary Jazz Album", last year's Billboard cover not withstanding. If he wins on Feb 11th, they just gotta pencil him in for this year's fest. From what I see on myspace, it doesn't appear that he's been playing with his uncle's band since the Detroit Jazz Fest....But I would not be surprised if he's there anyway. BTW, he has a pretty groovy take on "Cissy Strut" on his myspace page

[Papins]

Would have loved to see Amanda Shaw on there again...

She's playing the first weekend

[jailbait vagrant]

jailbait I think i love you lol!

:o, ahhh, you're making me blush!

I got lots of love for you too Corona! ;)

now we just need some Panic second weekend!

[Michelino]

bwahahaha!!! That sounds like a commercial :)

It's true...I am not well....

lol no, but if my daughter had seen it, she would have. :)

[Michelino]

lol no, but if my daughter had seen it, she would have. :)

I don't think you realize how much sophisticated high tech consulting work didn't get down the last couple days, just because I found out that one little girl - somewhere out there in America - liked those crab pictures.

WIDESPREAD PANIC!!!!!!!! ;)

[grisgris]

New Orleans Underdawgs.

[redfish2]

I would love to see John Hiatt
Delbert has been MIA for quite a few years
Grace Potter and the Nocturnals

[Amy Winette]

Grace Potter would have been a fantastic choice! Hopefully a future fest.

We could get her for a night show for $7500 (plus venue cost). Anyone know any lottery winners?

[ohio]

Wow, that was awesome, Ohio. Wonder how much one of those run?

no doubt! I don't care, I want one!

ha, someone's been doing some research!

I heard one of her songs off Superfly's Jazzfest sampler CD from '05 and really dug it. She's got one hell of a voice. And that CD kicked ass as well!

[saturn]

New Orleans Underdawgs.
http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e352/willis1326/underdog.jpg

Yep - Need some Underdawgs!

[pokerchick66]

no doubt! I don't care, I want one!

I could probably split one with somebody. That wouldn't be enough food for my family. That looks like a snack, lol. (minus the corn, potatoes and onions)

[sophisticated sissy]

Maybe I missed these from the list:

Keith Frank
New Orleans Klezmer All-Stars
AfroSkull
Irene Sage
Jeff & Vida

[pokerchick66]

Did I miss RRFB?

[Corona]

no RRFB but I did see the kelzmer all-stars I think....

[pokerchick66]

no RRFB but I did see the kelzmer all-stars I think....

Maybe he'll be doing another night show . . .: )

Bonerama
Woodenhead

[balmer_hophead]

Michael Franti & Spearhead

In town, but not playing the Fest?

[funkkjunkie]

I think 05 was their first and only time to play the fairgrounds. swag?

[Jordan]

Some has been said, and I'm not up to speed with who's in/around New Orleans these days, but I'm saddened not to see:
Little Queenie, Tin Men, Joe Krown, NO Juice, Lynn Drury, Palmetto Bug Stompers, Linnzi Zaorski, The Trio, Zydepunks, Woodenhead, John Lisi, Alex McMurray.

I'm also surprised not to see a Gatemouth tribute.

[pokerchick66]

Bonerama
Woodenhead

Bonerama is playing first weekend.

[jckstraw]

widespread panic....was surprised not to see them since their spring tour ends right before second weekend.

like I am going to be lacking in choices ;)

[stlbarb]

I dont recall ever seeing a 'tribute to' listed on the schedule. some bands play in tribute to, but its just a stage announcemnt.
i'm sure others have much better memories that me.

[heyhon]

Beau Jacque
Boozoo Chavis
K-Doe
Gate

(Sniff)

[Jordan]

Just to be fair, I'm glad to see that these local acts didn't get forgotten: Grayson Capps, Twangorama, Shannon McNallay, Michael Skinkus & Moyuba, Lil' Ray Neal Blues Band (all first-time bands I believe) plus: Bingo, 007, Morning 40 Federation, Washboard Chaz, Kirk Joseph, David & Roselyn and many others who I was worried would be left off.

[pokerchick66]

Barb, Irma Thomas is doing a tribute to Mahalia Jackson second weekend. :)

[Papins]

has any one see if Doug Kershaw's playing?

[swag]

I think 05 was their first and only time to play the fairgrounds. swag?

I see club shows gridded for Franti in '03, '04, '05, but only atthe Fairgrounds in '05.

[nofunkfan]

I was really hoping to see Billy Iuso & Restless Natives on the list this year.:confused:

[Headless Hornman]

Dash Rip Rock

[Jordan]

Yes, Billy Iuso and Dash Rip Rock are notable MIA's

[funkkjunkie]

Welcome, funkfan. Had heard of but never heard Billy Iuso until corona got a myspace invite to be his friend. She turned some of us on to his funkin good music.

[Fred (Texas JF Fanatic)]

We were fortunate to have Westbank Mike relocate here in Houston after the storm. Never heard of him until he started showing up at the Blues Jams and giging with his band here in Houston. Not sure, but I think he might be back in New Orleans now. It would be great to see him get a spot out at the Fair Grounds. Will be checking the clubs during JF for Westbank Mike and the Fisher Project for some downhome Blues.

[Jim]

I thought Ry Cooder might play this year. He has a new cd out in early March and he produced and plays on the new Mavis Staples cd which is supposed to be out sometime in April. I was hoping for he and Mavis to do a set at the 'fest. I wish the festival would do more "special" acts like the Rosetta Thorpe tribute or the blues harp summit from a couple of years ago. Getting back to Ry Cooder, the last time he played Jazzfest was around 1994 or '95. He and Ali Fakre Toure had just released a fabulous cd so Ry played a set with Ali Fakre Toure and then later in the day closed out the Professor Longhair stage with David Lindley. One of my finer days at Jazzfest.

[breambob]

MIA from Shreveport:

Kenny Wayne Sheppard
Papa Mali
Kix Brooks (without Lonnie Dunn, please)
James Burton
Kenny Bill Stinson
Jeff Burton
Jerry Beech
Victoria Williams, she needs to come home more often.
A-Train (The Bluebirds are playing,though)
Johnny and/or Edgar Winter
Dan Garner and Cookie Dyson
Danny Johnson (20+ years lead guitar with Steppenwolf. Maybe they don't fit in...)
Wonder if Jay Davis will show up, 20+ years on the road with Rod Stewart, best bassist he ever had.

Hell, Slim Whitman is still alive !

And while we're doing tributes how 'bout one to Huddy Ledbetter?

[breambob]

YYR, Jim. That was the only time Ry played at JF, I think. What a great show.
Didn't he play a little with Bernie Leadon that year? It's all a blur but here's a photo of the Congo Stage that day.

http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p12/breambob/ry1small.jpg

I kinda fell like I've cursed him and Stevie Wonder for asking for them every year. And have I already mentioned Buddy Miles? WTF !!!

[funkkjunkie]

Some of this year's special acts:
First weekend
-Second line til you drop featuring the music of Paul Barbarin
-Patrice Fisher and Arpa with guests Marcello cotarelli and Ilhabela Big Band
of Brazil
-Swamp blues summit with lil buck sinegal and rudy Richard
-New Orleans modified drum circle

Second weekend
-Irma Thomas's tribute to mahalia jackson
-Bob Wilber and the Soprano summit tribute to Kenny Davern
-The Jazz Jam
-The Woodshed featuring Roland Guerin and James Singleton
-Stax Music Academy Revue with Stephen Foster

[MzJoey]

heya...just read a piece about the Madison Bumble Bees...w/ 14 trombones?? made me think of u!!

[funkkjunkie]

OH, I forgot to put them on the list. That is going to be amazing. Was it the article where quint says how long they've been trying to get these folks?They rarely play outside their church.

[MzJoey]

sounds really neat huh??

Bobber,
Kenny Bill Stinson is listed first weekend on my printout! I got him underlined as a don't miss. I loved that interview where he said he loved to play in Louisiana because people loved to dance. He said he saw a wiater drop a plate of forks and everybody in the joint jumped up to dance!

TY, ed. Looks like we will get a little of the old time rockabilly. I'll be there.

[nofunkfan]

Please Add Billy Iuso And Restless Natives to Fest.....they had
FRED WESLEY come out and play with them What a TREAT...They Rocked Krewe De Vieux Ball....
Zig was awesome Too...

[nofunkfan]

has anyone heard anymore adds to fest......

[NeenAtlanta]

It's time for the daily lineups by now, isn't it? I think Dave said "a few days" when the first announcement came out.

Hey Dave - where ya't?

[chrisjoseph]

Joe Krown was added to 1st weekend.

[ohio]

Joe Krown was added to 1st weekend.YAY! Joe gets left off every year, I just don't understand it. He has been a great ambassador for Nola, such as being the 'house band' along with Johnny Vidacovich for our local Blues Fest. Very well received I might add...

[nofunkfan]

no one new yet added???anyone??:p

[Jordan]

Joe Krown was added to 1st weekend.

Now that's well-deserved! I don't think anyone played more gigs than he did around town last fest and he still fills it up.

[Papins]

Missing too-and would love to see: Travis Matte & The Zydeco Kingpins, Eddy Raven, Jamie Bergeron, Keith Frank

[NYMAMA]

Now that's well-deserved! I don't think anyone played more gigs than he did around town last fest and he still fills it up.

Always try to see Joe at least once durring Fest. I prefer when he plays the piano to the B3

We love his "New Orleans Piano Rolls" Album.

http://www.louisianamusicfactory.com/images/product/3227.jpg (http://www.louisianamusicfactory.com/showoneprod.asp?ProductID=3227)

My wife has it in her top five piano albums of all time...I put him right up there with John Nakamatsu and Vladimir Horowitz in terms of piano music that speaks to the soul (http://www.louisianamusicfactory.com/real/3227-1.ram).

I agree with your wife I have that album autographed by Joe and it is defintley one of my favorites. I also loved the way Katie Webster would play the piano and sing.She was one hot mama. I'm sorry I never got to see her in person.

He has some gigs at Kajuns Pub ... jazzfestgrids.com

[eat_mo_crawfish]

Howdy everyone, just got an e-mail from Kim Carson, she isn't sure why she didn't get invited to Fest yet but would appreciate if those of us who are fans could politely inquire of the Fest folks whether she and the band are going to be added (hint, hint).

[pokerchick66]

Hey Eatmo! :)

[Amy Winette]

YES, add Kim Carson! She was great last year. EatMo, you should post a separate thread . . .

MORE KIM!!!!! :mad:

I just received an email from Charles Neville and he told me that The Meters are playing at JF this year.

Maybe a night show? I will have to ask him.

[McGregor]

We're waiting! ;)

[tangledupinblue]

I just emailed him. Will let you know as soon as he gets back to me.

[jailbait vagrant]

man I really hope there is an evening Meters show during the second weekend. I guess this is a possibility as they played a superfly show last year and superfly has yet to announce their shows.

my fingers are crossed

[festydave]

This thread should really go to sleep. The final additions were made a few weeks ago - with the addition of Joe Krown and a few others so pointing out who's not playing isn't going to get them on. As is always the case, everybody can't play every year and with the Festival still down a day there are even less slots than the old days. Hopefully you can see Kim Carson at a club gig during the Fest. The Meters aren't performing this year at the Fair Grounds.

[chrisjoseph]

Festy, so no new acts for the 2nd weekend?

[vegout]

I heard that Dave Matthews, Jimmy Buffett and the Beatles are going to be added to the Fest schedule. This will also result in the first ever Fest to be sold out.

[Rossvegas]

I'm still waiting for the Messiah. Let me know when he/she gets added, okay Festy Dave?

I believe we were only speaking about the Meters playing at one of the night shows. I am quite happy with everything jazzfest has to offer every year!

[Jim]

I thought Quint said at the press conference there was one more big name act to be added to take things over the top. Have I missed something?

[Corona]

nope, I thought I heard the same thing. When do we find out about these new additions? When the daily lineups come out? Still hopin' the Underdawgs made it on there.

[saturn]

Has anyone seen any mention of Spencer Bohren playing anywhere during fest?

[chrisjoseph]

Schedule-wise, Spencer is available to play except for first Friday and Saturday.

[Priestboy]

The Nevilles...sigh.

I would have loved to have seen the Charles Neville Jazz Ensemble though!

(For what it is worth, I just received an update from Pollstar about two new Nevilles dates for 2007 (Feb 18th in Beaumont, TX and April 27th in Scottsdale, AZ) You think if they could do a Scottsdale gig on April 27th, they could have...ah, never mind.:>)

When he played Bob's Southern Bistro (in Beantown) on MG, he said he had a gig in the Boston area during JF! Figures me and MRG are down there, and he'll be up here:( !! Timing is everything!
