One of the main guys passed away in that group, but I did not realize that the reunited version was touring.

Did not listen to WWOZ or peep any reviews of the 2nd weekend of the J & H. Did anybody here go?

Read lots of raves about Sugarpie Desanto. Plus Ronnie Spector's surprise guest appearance.

If you missed this year's Ponderosa Stomp, you'll get a second chance to hear performances by the Trashmen, Duane Eddy, Ronnie Spector with Barbara Lynn and more. American Routes and the New Orleans House of Blues joined together to record this year's Ponderosa Stomp concert, and American Routes will broadcast highlights around New Year's Eve.

Wish I was there to see the local artists mostly of course (plus a few out-of-towners)
― curmudgeon, Thursday, 28 April 2011 13:12 (2 years ago) Permalink
Hmmm, should I go to J and H this year? Same ol' artists mostly but I like the local ones even if I have seen moste of 'em. Irma doing Mahalia Jacksson would be nice. Or I should finally make it to the Ponderosa Stomp in September; or both!

No Stomp this year I think, they're going to focus on interviewing and building their archives and return with live shows next year.
Jazzfest is always a great time to me, I just avoid the big stage and stick to mostly local stuff.

That said, some of the Acura stage stuff was even less appealing to me than most years.

Wasn't going to go this year, but am considering it now for the first weekend if I can find lodging for 2 and plane fare at a rate that does not kill my budget.
― curmudgeon, Friday, 2 March 2012 14:55 (1 year ago) Permalink
Still trying through friends to find lodging and then have to get a flight. Ugh, it's expensive, but I haven't been in years.

Too bad there's no Stomp this year.
Had fun at 1st weekend of jazzfest(Irma Thomas singing Mahalia Jackson, brass bands, zydeco, Cajun, jazz and more) and maybe these below links will let me enjoy the 2nd weekend from afar

Last month around Mardi Gras I was listening to Lynn August's "Sauce Piquante" cd on Blacktop (good record btw) and kinda wondering if he was still performing, or even still alive. Didn't research at the time, but it turns out he has a website:

Had no idea Maxine Brown was still active either. This song is so beautiful:

I like her. Lynn August used to come to DC a bunch a decade or so ago. Baby Washington still does, and Bobby Parker lives here and plays regularly. I need to google some of the names like Richard Caiton.
