Katrina can’t rain on Jazz Fest parade
The 2006 New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival will go on as usual in post-Katrina New Orleans this spring, buoyed by a deal with a first-ever presenting sponsor, the Shell Oil Co., producer Quint Davis said Tuesday.
Davis said the festival will take place at its usual location -- the historic Fair Grounds horse racing track -- on the last weekend of April and the first weekend in May, its traditional dates. New Orleans native Fats Domino, whose home in the Lower 9th Ward was flooded by Hurricane Katrina, will be among the featured acts.
