Opening for the first time in three years, the festival brings memories of 2006 when the annual celebration of music and culture went on after Hurricane Katrina.

John Boutte's famous performance at the 2006 New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival is just one of the beloved performances included in WWOZ's Jazz Festing in Place series.
