For Sunday's main event, Nola trotted out the Rebirth Brass Band featuring Trombone Shorty and Kermit Ruffins for the player introductions, while Branford Marsalis, Stephanie Jordan, and Jonathan DuBose performed a wonderfully understated Star Spangled Banner. Finally, the halftime extravaganza featured Harry Connick, Jr., Allen Toussaint, Dr. John, Davell Crawford, Art Neville, Ivan Neville, Jonathan Batiste and Ellis Marsalis and a host of others (as I watched the Dukies get asswhipped by those Deamon Deacons of Wake Forest).

NBA allstar music...
For the Saturday night allstar festivities in New Orleans (celebrity game, slam dunk contest, skills and 3-point contest), fans were treated to some fine music as well. Marc Broussard and his band played several numbers and Dr. John soloed on Louis Armstrong's What a Wonderful World.
