There are many jazz festivals in the world, but there is only one “jazz fest” - the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival.  This podcast presents the music, culture, resilience, history and rhythm of the festival that inspired the new film Jazz Fest: A New Orleans Story.
Oscar-nominee Frank Marshall, jazz fest producer Quint Davis, and festival performers, including zydeco artist Dwayne Dopsie, Big Freedia, Pitbull and members of Boyfriend and Preservation Hall Jazz Band, tell the stories behind the story.  You’ll also hear legendary live performances from the festival’s first 50 years. Produced by True Tone Media Group, Hosted by musician, Samantha Fish, who is also a Jazz Fest favorite.
Jazz Fest: A New Orleans Story opens in New York and Los Angeles on May 13, 2022, with more markets to follow through the Spring.
