One could not expect better weather this past weekend. Sunny, a breeze and not particularly humid. One performer I had the pleasure to see twice was keyboardist Joe Krown. First I saw him in the trio with guitarist Walter ‘Wolfman’ Washington and drummer Russell Batiste on the Abita Stage (perhaps the largest performance stage. The next day, he did a tribute to James Booker at irving Mayfield’s Jazz Playhouse at the Royal Sonesta Hotel which was quite crowded for his performance. At the top of the page is a picture taken at the the James Booker tribute. Below is Wolfman Washington and Russell Batiste from their performance with Joe.

Joe Krown is one of my fav's. I have yet to see him live but hope to next week as my wife and I are going to Jazz Fest next week. Who would you recommend as 'must see' playing a venue around town during the first week of Jazz Fest?
Enjoy you blog, read it every day,
you cost me a lot of money in cds:-)
