Posted by: CaptAbernathy on  

Here we go… Just like last week, I’m putting together my top 10 picks for each day of Jazzfest. Unless you’re able to transcend time and space, then you probably won’t be able to catch all 10 sets. So, my recommendation is to have a listen to the bands below and plan your day wisely. Happy Festin’!

Festival Review: Jazfest - Saturday, April 24th

Posted by: CaptAbernathy on  

Bonerama at JazzfestI arrived at Jazzfest shortly after one o’clock on Saturday, April 24th. Though there would be no rain, the previous day’s deluge had turned the Fair Grounds into stagnant cesspool – plenty of filth for the swines to root about.  Oddly, again, the contemptible hordes, which often slosh around the stages, seemed to have stayed home. The simpatico crowd appeared altogether amenable, slightly excitable, and somewhat congenial. The mix of mud and mild temperatures had an unusually positive effect on the masses. I can only presume that (additionally) the bloated lineups had a sedative effect on the festival – and particularly, the Acura Stage – as a whole. Really, what could be more dull that sitting through a two-hour Simon & Garfunkel concert!

Lucky for me, that thought didn’t even cross my mind. I began my day where, later, I would end it, the Gentilly Stage. I rolled into the photo pit midway through Bonerama’s set. In a town (presumably the only one in America) with an overabundance of trombone bands, it’s no secret that none rock as hard as Bonerama. An undeniable force, year-in and year-out, the brass juggernaut literally blows the crowd away. This year was no exception. I was glad to hear the laid back funk of “Louie’s Perch,” one of my favorite Bone joints. Maybe one of the best things I saw all weekend was the Bone’s homage to the late Alex Chilton, which included a resounding take on The Box Tops’ “The Letter” and an electric run through Big Star’s “O’ My Soul,” which saw Bonerama leader Mark Mullins blasting the melody through his wah-rigged trombone.

Festival Review: Jazzfest - Friday, April 23rd

Posted by: CaptAbernathy on  

Steel Pluse at Jazzfest 2010A rather foreboding, gray sky loomed overhead as I made my way to the Fair Grounds on Friday, April 23rd. The forecast did not look good. All signs pointed to rain… and plenty of it. But that did not slow the Jazzfest faithful from heading out. As for myself, I spent the earlier part of the day slinging OffBeat magazines outside of the gates.
 
Apart from peddling programs, I used the time to look for some sort of deeper significance amongst the masses… some unifying theme. But I saw nothing. I thought – as I noticed several times in years past – that I’d find a Hunter S. Thompson/death of the American Dream sentiment permeating the scene. Maybe it was the lack of drugs on my part, or maybe it was the lack of drugs on their part, but everything and everyone seemed at least somewhat animated and in seemingly good spirits. There were no abhorrent beasts or crazed reptiles encroaching upon the landscape. There were, however, plenty of fair-weather pushers and bottom-feeders lurking about, hocking anything they could sell on every street as others scammed the sale of public property to those looking for a curbside spot. These were the people (I felt) you really had to keep an eye on… not the soulless “judas goats” but the conniving leeches, those who burrowed into every artery and vein and feverishly sucked blood from the source. Aside from the rare exception, the majority of the folks appeared mildly affable, or at least pleasantly apathetic. Then again, they (I being one of them) had yet to set foot inside of the grounds.
