This week’s Wednesday at the Square concert acted almost as a Jazz Fest pre-party, with Tab Benoit leading an all-star group in his Swampland Jam in front of a huge crowd. The band included Benoit, Cyril Neville, Waylon Thibodeaux, Johnny Vidacovich, George Porter, Jr., Big Sam Williams and Big Chief Monk Boudreaux. Amanda Shaw and the Cute Guys opened the show. The concerts are presented by the Young Leadership Council, who won a Best of the Beat Business Award this year in recognition of their contributions in producing the series.
