Still the greatest music fest in the country for diversity and
sheer musical jubilation. The New Orleans Jazz &
Heritage Festival announced its 2012 lineup today with another
interesting mix of big names and cool lesser-knowns.
One thing that stands out on the lineup for next year is the
increased number of hipster acts.
Jazz Fest
happens over two long weekends, April 27-29 and May 3-6.
It looks as if Jazz Fest organizers are hoping to keep up with the
Joneses (as in the Bonnaroos and ACL Fests). Personally, I don't think
that's a bad thing. Any exposure New Orleans and NOLA-affiliated
musicians can get among young, hip, travel-savvy music lovers bodes well
for everyone. And anyway, there are still plenty of old coots,
obscure greats, worldly adventurers and genuine characters spread among
the fest's eight stages.
