There are many jazz festivals in the world, but there is only one “jazz fest” - the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival. This podcast presents the music, culture, resilience, history and rhythm of the festival that inspired the film Jazz Fest: A New Orleans Story, 2023 Grammy-winner for "Best Music Film."
Episode 3 details the food available at Jazz Fest that tastes as great as the music sounds. Between live performances by jazz fest legends Buckwheat Zydeco and Allen Toussaint, performers Preservation Hall Jazz Band, Dwayne Dopsie and Pitbull discuss how the festival's traditions are handed down to future generations.
Jazz Fest: A New Orleans Story is available now on DVD, Blu-Ray and digital streaming from Sony Pictures Classics at https://www.sonypictures.com/movies/jazzfestaneworleansstory.
Hosted by Jazz Fest favorite, singer/guitarist Samantha Fish. Produced by Andy Cahn, Eric Molk and Paul Chuffo for True Tone Media Group / Joyride Media, with assistance from Jason W. Doyle and Khalid Hafiz.
Music heard in this program comes from the Jazz Fest box set, provided with full permission from Smithsonian Folkways and the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Foundation.
