| Abstract | This is a dramatic documentation through over 400 photographs of the evolution of this yearly festival that in New Orleans has become a seasonal ritual comparable only to the revelry of Mardi Gras. Dividing the book into four sections of five-year periods, photographer Michael P. Smith has compiled a running history of the Fest from its first year. Captured as never before are such musical greats as Mahalia Jackson, Duke Ellington, Dizzy Gillespie, Stevie Wonder, and Irma Thomas, as well as the lesser-known but well-remembered performers such as the Como Fife and Drum Corps, the Meters, and Beausoleil. |
