28th April 2017 at the Fair Grounds Race Course (Jazz Tent), New Orleans, USA.
New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival,
www.nojazzfest.com/.
Country: United States - New Orleans. Style: Jazz - Modern.
Lineup: Tony Dagradi (tenor sax/soprano sax), Steve Masakowski (g), James Singleton (b), Johnny Vidacovich (d).
This band have been around for just one year short of forty. Few people who have neither lived in or visited New Orleans will have heard of them, as they long ago stopped touring outside the city. I have now seen them six times, making sure I do this at least once when I come to New Orleans forJazzfest. I took photos of their 2011 Fairgrounds performance (
