The New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival is amongst the largest music festivals in the country. Half a million people congregate in New Orleans for two weekends in April and May every year to experience the riches of New Orleans and Louisiana music, as well as a selection of popular jazz, blues, gospel, country, hip-hop and rockers from around the country. The History of Jazz Fest Book is the only book that extensively covers the 35-year history of this world famous event. The year-by-year full color format provides ample detail for any one of the millions of individuals who has attended the festival over the years to jog a specific memory, yet is laid out with such a rich selection of images and quirky details to appeal to an audience interested in music yet who has never made the pilgrimage to New Orleans.
