Jazz Fest 2008 Friday 4/25 Second grid

And after we eat some Shrimp Monica and have some strawberry lemonade, we will be ready for the second sets:

Kim Carson and the Casualties




Viváz Latin Band is a musical group that uniquely combines Latin Jazz, Salsa, and Caribbean sounds. Viváz was formed in New Orleans, Louisiana in April of 2001. The band is comprised of musicians from many different countries including Puerto Rico, Nicaragua, Bolivia, Dominican Republic, and the United States. A highly original sound is achieved by these energetic musicians who combine traditional Latin music styles with innovative ideas.

Otra! OTRA attempts to bring a rock n' roll attitude and excitement to its live performances, encouraging audience members to 'do their own thing' on the dance floor in an effort to help listeners relate to the music in a new way. In this way OTRA hopes to introduce many new listeners to afro-cuban jazz...not by watering it down or fusing it with hip-hop cliches, but with honest, passionate performances that intrigue the ear and delight the soul!

Amina Figarova Sextet




J. Monque'D Blues Band J. Monque'D has been entertaining audiences in New Orleans since the 60's. He's perfected good time Blues into an epic artform: solid musicianship, and a flair for making those who listen to him feel good. It's no wonder that he was inducted into the the Louisiana Music Hall of Fame in 1999.

The Original Dixieland Jazz Band (well not the originals from 1917)


Joe Hall


Real Untouchables Brass Band


Reverend Mark and The Gospel Stars



There are two others I am skipping over, but there is lots of meat here.
