Okay I promised to name my next five on my last post, but wandering the halls of YouTube today, I came across this really cool video.

The New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, otherwise known as “Jazz Fest,” is a 10-day cultural feast. The music encompasses every style associated with the city.

This year’s Fest was held April 25 through May 4th.

1. Thelonious Monk
2 . Bill Evans
3. Terry Adams(NRBQ)
