Some rainy Saturday notes...

The Monday following JazzFest can yield some musical treasures as well. Oriana (from Oregona) writes..." saw many great shows later that week...one standout was Femi Kuti, an internationally known African guy with a big percussive band....and his son's band who opened was terrific too. That was at One-Eyed Jack's in the quarter. The Monday after JazzFest is the grand finale of JazzFest, I found out....great music all day at both Tower and the Music Factory, followed by a late and great jam with the Bob French band at Donna's Bar on Rampart. Blind pianist Henry Butler sat in with them and a few others...that was a treat."

Yahoo! music writer Laura Hertfeld gives her Top Five New Orleans Jazz Fest Highlights:

  1. U2 's The Edge With Dave Matthews Band At The Fairgrounds
  2. Johnny Sketch & The Dirty Notes At Carrollton Station
  3. Stanton Moore's Drum Clinic Tower Records
  4. Kids' Gospel Choir At The Fairgrounds' Gospel Tent
  5. Second-Line Parade Through The French Quarter With The Algiers Brass Band
