[crees155]

Hey guys, brand new to the board, and brand new to JazzFest (new orleans for that matter). Heading out there today after work... Just printed out the schedule of all the performing artists for this weekend and wanted to know - What are the "must-see" performers that you just cant miss??? Obviously excluding the main acts that everyone knows.

Thanks - Chris
