"Jazz Fest": THE WEEKEND BOINK!!

 

 

Loosely using The Replacements' "Boink!!" as a template---6 album tracks, a b-side and an unreleased track---here are my choices to rep the New Orleans Jazz Fest.

Actually, if I had a month with a thousand hours of music, I couldn't possibly represent the New Orleans Jazz Fest on these pages. But that doesn't mean I can't try.

Here are some favorites, sequenced with the best of my ability. A few were recorded at the Festival itself. One is from a WWOZ broadcast. And we have a live performance from one of the night time shows, this one from Tipitina's in 2019.

This mix is pretty much the vibe of the whole event, day and night. 

I hope you enjoy the music.
