Radio 2 Arts Programme
Jazz record producer Robert Parker introduces a report from America of his visit to one of the year's most important and enjoyable celebrations of Louisiana arts, crafts and food - the annual New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival. Using a portable digital recorder, Parker has compiled a selective impression of New Orleans and the Festival - including an in-depth interview with founder George Wein , creator of the original Newport Jazz Festival. With the help of local experts, the exciting variety of contemporary New
Orleans music is explored - from cajun and zydeco to rhythm 'n' blues and jazz, both classic and modern - with performances by the top local talent.
