New Orleans JazzFest 2012 Music List Released!

It's that time again..the music lineup for the 2012 New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival was released last nite at midnight. Go here for artist list. There is also a great article here by Keith Spera at NOLA.com. He interviews Jazzfest producer/director Quint Davis about this years festival and about the history and logistics of putting on such a huge event. Looking at the list, so far the Eagles and Tom Petty are being featured as major headliners..not a big fan of either, but booking these huge national acts helps bring folks out to the fest and makes it possible to book and feature lesser known acts so bring em on. I spend most of my time away from the major stages anyway, preferring to focus on the smaller stages and tents....Cubes should be out sometime in the spring.
