Jazz Fest opens. Plant/Krauss wow 'em...

Plant, Krauss dazzle Friday at Jazzfest Keith Spera (Times-Picayune)

The early contender for show to beat at the 2008 Jazzfest? The bewitching Friday afternoon set by Alison Krauss, Robert Plant and their all-star Americana band. I wasn't sure how the intimate arrangements from their "Raising Sand" album would translate in the wide-open space at the Acura Stage. They translated just fine, especially with a brooding gray sky framing the whole affair. complete artcle - insider's guide
