2000 Jazzfest line-up announced

[nolapenguin]

I know it's an old and tired event for some folks, but Jazzfest is a holiday for this house. 2009 is the 40th anniversary and I think they've booked a solid show again. Check this out:

Wynton Marsalis
Aretha Franklin
Dave Matthews Band
James Taylor
Sugarland
Joe Cocker
Ben Harper
Tony Bennett
Earth, Wind & Fire
Wilco

What? Aretha? JT? DMB? Tony Bennett? Earth, Wind & Fire???


EDIT: From the full list I found a few more gems. At least to me they are:

Drive By Truckers
Etta James
Spoon
Pete Seeger
Los Lobos
John Mayall
Cedric Burnside & Lightnin’ Malcolm

And a gazillion local artists, as usual.

What can I say? They are my client. If it make you feel better, I had to take a blood oath not to say anything about the line up, and I had to stay at work until 9 last night making last minute changes to the events.

Just so you know if you are planning to go every day one weekend they have a discounted weekend pass this year.

Okay, wise one, tell me this: who's the TBA?
