"he longevity of a
festival creates its
own aura. The
New Orleans Jazz &
Heritage Festival
began its life in 1970,
28 years ago. Many of J
the people who came
in those early days
are no longer with
us. That is always
sad, but there's a
joyous side to a festival that has such lasting
appeal. Young people who grew to love the Festival in
its early days may now be parents of children who
could be up to 30 years old. These children have
become fans of the unique exposition of New Orleans
and Louisiana culture that is the Jazz 5. Heritage
Festival, and now come to the Festival with their par-
ents, even if they live in different parts of America and
the world. The theme of this year's Festival is "Family
BRYANT
iiiue /965
Reunion," and that's literally what happens: families
come together for joyous reunions and at the same

Last year, I had the pleasure of playing two or three

had played on and off with Doc since the early 1950s
when he worked for me in Boston at a club called
Mahogany Hall, named after the fabled New Orleans
bordello. I must have always felt strongly about Nevi;

Boston, Mahogany Hall and Storyville, got their names culture is king and food

out of the sanctuaries of the churcli and

stages at local events and venues, as well

Sherman Washington, wlio has been an
active proponent of gospel music in this
area for more than 50 years.
The legacy of gospel music in New
Orleans is a long one, marked by the great
Mahalia Jackson, whose rise to international
tame compares with that of another
musically gifted native New Orleanian, Louis
Armstrong. Recently, the world-renowned Zion
Harmonizers, led by Washington, celebrated
59 years of spiritual singing with an afternoon
of gospel performances and a cameo
