WWOZ will partner with the Archive of the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Foundation to bring you Jazz Festing In Place 2021 featuring rare and historic sets from Jazz Fest’s past, on the traditional spring weekends of the festival. The remote festival is scheduled for April 22-25 and April 29-May 2 .
“WWOZ is looking forward to being back at the Fairgrounds, broadcasting live, from the 2021 New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival presented by Shell, in October,” says WWOZ GM Beth Arroyo Utterback. “In the meantime, we are glad to be able to bring you some of the most memorable performances from previous years during the 2021 edition of Jazz Festing In Place. We miss seeing ‘OZilians from all over the world in person, but staying healthy and staying home, for now, is the right thing to do.”
In addition to the music, the broadcast will include interview segments highlighting the food, crafts, and heritage of New Orleans and Louisiana. Jazz Fest cuisine recipes will be shared and fans will have the opportunity to connect with favorite local festival food and craft vendors.
