The State of Jazz in the Crescent City

Just recently spent a couple of weeks in the Crescent City. New Orleans. First of all, it is HOT. I mean like 95 degrees and 80 percent humidity. I ate enough seafood to singlehandedly ressurect the Gulf Shrimp industry. They say it is safe to eat. I hope so. I am counting on it. Anyway, aside from all of the culinary delights, another thing that is great to see post- Katrina is the music scene coming back to life. Katrina forced so many to flee to safety. Musicians included. That would have broken the back of many a city, but the good folks of NOLA have perservered. As tourism has come back, and businesses have reopened now six years on, the music scene is alive and well. I enjoy how "in your face" jazz is in this place. In an ordinary city, the aficianado must seek out his jazz fix. Not so in New Orleans. It will track YOU down... Much good jazz on the FM radio as well. Hey, where else can you hear Zydeco on the radio as well. You can't keep good folks down. From the time you touch down at Louis Armstrong Airport, you will feel the jazz vibe EVERYWHERE. Keep up the good work folks!
