00:00:50,842 --> 00:00:53,637
Welcome to 50 years of jazz fest,
everybody!
13
00:00:54,388 --> 00:00:59,226
There's nothing like playin' the
New Orleans jazz and heritage festival.
14
00:00:59,309 --> 00:01:00,352
Nothing in the world.
15
00:01:00,435 --> 00:01:02,271
J� who came to party? J�
16
00:01:04,648 --> 00:01:08,694
All the best musicians from around
the world descend upon the city.
17
00:01:08,777 --> 00:01:13,740
7,000 musicians on 14 stages
over eight days.
18
00:01:13,824 --> 00:01:16,076
How y'all doin' out there, jazz fest?
19
00:01:16,910 --> 00:01:20,205
We all know the jazz fest is a place
where you go and see legends.
20
00:01:20,289 --> 00:01:23,000
Somebody! Way in the back,
back there, say, "yeah!"
21
00:01:23,083 --> 00:01:24,251
Yeah!
22
00:01:25,711 --> 00:01:28,380
Wow! This is the real stuff.
23
00:01:28,463 --> 00:01:29,798
Greetings, New Orleans!
24
00:01:29,881 --> 00:01:31,758
I can just tell you one word: Magical.
25
00:01:31,842 --> 00:01:34,386
Are you still havin' a good time, y'all?
26
00:01:42,436 --> 00:01:45,981
To play jazz fest is like
being a part of the playoffs.
27
00:01:46,064 --> 00:01:49,067
Jazz fest meant that you made it.
28
00:01:49,151 --> 00:01:52,005
Everywhere we play around the world,
people go, "I saw you at jazz fest."
29
00:01:52,029 --> 00:01:53,572
Are you ready? Are you ready?
30
00:01:54,740 --> 00:01:56,325
Whoo!
31
00:02:03,999 --> 00:02:06,585
You might call itjazz,
but you know, you got rock,
32
00:02:06,668 --> 00:02:08,879
you got R&B, you got soul.
33
00:02:08,962 --> 00:02:11,715
Well, it never was only jazz.
34
00:02:19,973 --> 00:02:25,395
I love looking at the names of bands
I've never heard of that I wanna go see.
35
00:02:25,479 --> 00:02:29,608
You hear Terence Blanchard, then turn
around, you might hear Tony Bennett.
36
00:02:29,691 --> 00:02:30,817
You crazy?
37
00:02:30,901 --> 00:02:34,112
And then you can go and see 93-year-old
dooky chase
38
00:02:34,196 --> 00:02:37,574
cook her famous gumbo z'herbes
in your face!
39
00:02:37,658 --> 00:02:38,784
Whoo, ooh!
40
00:02:40,410 --> 00:02:43,997
It's kind of like havin' the city
of New Orleans in New Orleans.
41
00:02:44,081 --> 00:02:47,209
Music and cultures, sounds and flavors.
42
00:02:47,292 --> 00:02:52,339
The air is thick, and not with just
humidity, it's thick with culture.
43
00:02:57,052 --> 00:03:00,430
That's jazz fest, like, there ain't no
festival like this one, I'm telling you.
44
00:03:08,605 --> 00:03:12,484
Life is happening at a high frequency
for these two weeks.
45
00:03:17,030 --> 00:03:20,784
You're going to the jazz fest,
you're going to a New Orleans party.
46
00:03:20,867 --> 00:03:23,161
The world's greatest,
you know, backyard barbecue.
47
00:03:25,622 --> 00:03:27,457
The most kick-ass party in the world.
48
00:03:29,167 --> 00:03:30,544
I'm in.
49
00:03:32,462 --> 00:03:35,142
We're gonna go out there and jam.
We'll see y'all out there tonight.
50
00:04:03,452 --> 00:04:06,705
George wein, the creator
of the Newport jazz festival,
51
00:04:06,788 --> 00:04:10,500
he was brought to New Orleans
and said New Orleans has something
52
00:04:10,584 --> 00:04:15,589
that no one else in the world can ever
claim, and that's the birthright ofjazz.
53
00:04:24,347 --> 00:04:26,391
This is called
"wrap your troubles in dreams."
54
00:04:33,106 --> 00:04:37,027
I got a call from someone with
the hotel corporation of america,
55
00:04:37,819 --> 00:04:43,825
and they wanted me to come down here
in 1962 to do a Newport-type festival.
56
00:04:43,909 --> 00:04:48,955
And of course, you couldn't do a festival
in '62 because of the Jim crow.
57
00:04:49,581 --> 00:04:51,541
They couldn't have white musicians
58
00:04:51,625 --> 00:04:55,170
and African musicians
on the stage at the same time.
59
00:04:56,171 --> 00:05:00,592
And I was married to an African-American
lady, my wife, Joyce.
60
00:05:00,675 --> 00:05:03,804
So I said, look, you know,
maybe things will change.
61
00:05:04,429 --> 00:05:06,932
80 things changed,
and they called me to come back.
62
00:05:07,015 --> 00:05:11,770
The heritage, the backgrounds ofjazz,
started right here in New Orleans.
63
00:05:11,853 --> 00:05:15,857
And so I just feel that the way we're
going to create a festival down here
64
00:05:15,941 --> 00:05:20,570
that the whole world will come to
will be to really hit the heritage
65
00:05:20,654 --> 00:05:23,240
of what the people of Louisiana
and New Orleans have.
66
00:05:34,668 --> 00:05:39,381
New Orleans has the only
really unique culture in america
67
00:05:39,464 --> 00:05:42,342
that belongs to itself,
68
00:05:42,425 --> 00:05:46,555
and I said the festival must be
a reflection of New Orleans
69
00:05:46,638 --> 00:05:48,682
and Louisiana culture.
70
00:05:51,935 --> 00:05:55,313
I remember the very first jazz festival.
71
00:05:55,397 --> 00:05:59,609
George wein came in town and I was asked
72
00:05:59,693 --> 00:06:04,823
if I would identify musicians
that should be on the festival.
73
00:06:05,782 --> 00:06:07,659
So I went to everybody that I knew
74
00:06:07,742 --> 00:06:11,830
and helped to spearhead
in the direction of George.
75
00:06:12,747 --> 00:06:16,751
Ellis was working across the street
in al hirt's club,
76
00:06:16,835 --> 00:06:18,378
and we'd hang out at nights.
77
00:06:19,254 --> 00:06:21,256
And then I found quint Davis.
78
00:06:22,883 --> 00:06:25,385
Quint was a kid.
He knew nothing about festivals,
79
00:06:25,468 --> 00:06:30,390
but he was very excited about doing
anything that had to do with music
80
00:06:30,473 --> 00:06:33,059
and had to do with New Orleans music.
81
00:06:38,273 --> 00:06:41,401
I mean, I don't know,
it's like if you were a kid
82
00:06:41,484 --> 00:06:44,112
and you collected baseball cards,
and you get a call saying,
83
00:06:44,195 --> 00:06:47,741
"the world series is here,
we need you to come to yankee stadium
84
00:06:47,824 --> 00:06:49,409
and pitch one of the games."
85
00:06:51,578 --> 00:06:53,204
George would just trust you.
86
00:06:53,288 --> 00:06:56,499
I just took quint and threw him
in the water and let him swim.
87
00:06:56,583 --> 00:07:00,503
It was to see if he could either drown me
or I could be of use.
88
00:07:04,090 --> 00:07:06,217
I insisted in the first year,
89
00:07:06,301 --> 00:07:09,638
only New Orleans groups,
or Louisiana groups.
90
00:07:09,721 --> 00:07:13,642
That brought mahalia Jackson,
who was born here, and Duke Ellington.
91
00:07:13,725 --> 00:07:15,644
And that was the first festival.
92
00:07:17,646 --> 00:07:19,814
There you go.
Here she is, ladies and gentlemen.
93
00:07:19,898 --> 00:07:21,191
Mahalia Jackson.
94
00:07:25,070 --> 00:07:28,698
I wanna show 'em how they supposed
to sing up north,
95
00:07:28,782 --> 00:07:31,409
and where George wein came from,
you know what I mean.
96
00:07:33,745 --> 00:07:37,749
He is a great king
and he's done such marvelous work
97
00:07:37,832 --> 00:07:43,088
in bringing this real American music
to the people all over.
98
00:07:43,171 --> 00:07:46,091
But he's down here in the briar patch.
99
00:07:46,174 --> 00:07:52,347
We gon' show him where it was created for,
and who is the author ofjazz, Louisiana!
100
00:07:52,430 --> 00:07:57,435
New Orleans, give yourself a big hand,
and see me Friday night!
101
00:07:57,519 --> 00:07:58,770
Thank you so much!
102
00:07:59,646 --> 00:08:01,731
Yeah!
103
00:08:02,315 --> 00:08:07,988
When jazz fest started, it was like we
were presenting this culture to the world.
104
00:08:20,291 --> 00:08:23,920
There's cajun music,
there's blues, there's funk,
105
00:08:24,004 --> 00:08:27,048
there's gospel,
that was the original festival.
106
00:08:36,558 --> 00:08:40,228
There was a lot of reasons
that everybody thought we would fail.
107
00:08:40,311 --> 00:08:43,857
One of 'em was bringing Latin people
and black people
108
00:08:43,940 --> 00:08:45,820
and cajun people all together
at the same place.
109
00:08:45,859 --> 00:08:50,030
And I was like, "well, everybody eats
and everybody dances,
110
00:08:50,113 --> 00:08:52,824
so if we can get people together
and see what they eat
111
00:08:52,907 --> 00:08:56,036
and see what they dance to,
you know, I think that could work."
112
00:08:56,119 --> 00:09:01,207
When it was all put together in one place,
it was stunning to the local people.
113
00:09:01,291 --> 00:09:05,503
You know, they were amazed at themselves
and they felt a tremendous pride.
114
00:09:05,587 --> 00:09:08,089
And I knew that we had something special.
115
00:09:10,008 --> 00:09:13,595
Today will forever be the first day
116
00:09:13,678 --> 00:09:16,389
of the 50th New Orleans jazz
and heritage festival.
117
00:09:17,515 --> 00:09:20,894
It rained today, it rained hard.
118
00:09:20,977 --> 00:09:24,105
Rain is an element of our planet.
119
00:09:24,189 --> 00:09:29,444
We are a planet of elements, like
the earth, like the wind, like the fire.
120
00:09:29,527 --> 00:09:31,946
Those elements are here with us today!
121
00:09:32,030 --> 00:09:33,656
Earth, wind & fire!
122
00:09:37,035 --> 00:09:39,412
J� hey, hey, hey, heyj'
123
00:09:39,496 --> 00:09:41,039
is there a party over here?
124
00:09:41,122 --> 00:09:43,041
J� hey, hey, hey, heyj�
125
00:09:43,124 --> 00:09:44,584
is there a party over there?
126
00:09:46,086 --> 00:09:49,964
New Orleans, where's the party, y'all?
Where's the party, y'all? Whoo!
127
00:09:52,801 --> 00:09:57,889
J� do you remember
21st night of September? J�
128
00:09:58,932 --> 00:10:02,018
j� love was changing the mind
of pretenders j�
129
00:10:02,852 --> 00:10:06,314
j� while chasing the clouds away j�
130
00:10:08,191 --> 00:10:10,110
j� our hearts were ringing j�
131
00:10:10,193 --> 00:10:13,822
j� in the key that our
souls were singing j�
132
00:10:13,905 --> 00:10:17,200
j� as we danced through the night
remember j�
133
00:10:17,867 --> 00:10:20,120
j� how we knew love was here to stay j�
134
00:10:20,203 --> 00:10:21,663
j� come on, everybody, sing! J�
135
00:10:22,038 --> 00:10:24,082
j� hey, hey, heyj�
136
00:10:25,750 --> 00:10:27,794
j� say, do you remember? J�
137
00:10:29,170 --> 00:10:31,673
j� dancing in September j�
138
00:10:33,049 --> 00:10:37,011
j� never was a cloudy day j�
139
00:10:37,095 --> 00:10:38,555
you're playing in New Orleans,
140
00:10:38,638 --> 00:10:41,141
which has a tremendous amount
of history for music,
141
00:10:41,224 --> 00:10:42,767
and you feel it when you're on stage.
142
00:10:42,851 --> 00:10:47,480
J� see you
only blue talk and love, remember j�
143
00:10:47,564 --> 00:10:51,776
j� how we knew love was here to stay j�
144
00:10:53,319 --> 00:10:58,491
it's great to be in a place where
the music is still alive and evolving.
145
00:10:58,575 --> 00:11:03,121
J� only blue talk and love, remember j�
146
00:11:03,204 --> 00:11:07,500
j� knew love was here to stay j�
147
00:11:07,584 --> 00:11:09,043
j� hey, hey, heyj�
148
00:11:10,712 --> 00:11:12,714
j� say, do you remember? J�
149
00:11:14,507 --> 00:11:16,593
j� dancing in September j�
150
00:11:17,927 --> 00:11:22,056
j� never was a cloudy day j�
151
00:11:22,140 --> 00:11:24,309
Earth, wind & fire has lost nothing.
152
00:11:24,392 --> 00:11:28,438
They're fantastic performers,
and it was their 50th anniversary too.
153
00:11:28,521 --> 00:11:32,734
We are coming up on 50 years, and I have
to tell you, it's been quite an adventure.
154
00:11:32,817 --> 00:11:35,195
Party people in the house,
let's jump, come on!
155
00:11:36,988 --> 00:11:41,367
Fifty years, you know, we've probably
come here most of our 50.
156
00:11:41,451 --> 00:11:44,621
So, wow, as an artist and a festival,
we go way back.
157
00:11:46,664 --> 00:11:53,129
J� do you remember
never was a cloudy day j�
158
00:11:55,215 --> 00:11:59,510
it's a blessing to be able to still
do music this long, on this level,
159
00:11:59,594 --> 00:12:01,471
and there will be a lot of
young people today
160
00:12:01,554 --> 00:12:04,182
that probably are first discovering
earth, wind & fire.
161
00:12:04,265 --> 00:12:07,310
All of New Orleans,
party people, now scream!
162
00:12:08,811 --> 00:12:13,358
J� whoa j�
163
00:13:09,831 --> 00:13:13,167
One thing about the festival is,
it's handmade.
164
00:13:13,251 --> 00:13:15,586
It's still handmade, all of it.
165
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:25,096
It's what we call blades of grass.
166
00:13:25,972 --> 00:13:28,641
You go somewhere
and there's nothing there.
167
00:13:28,725 --> 00:13:30,601
And you have to build everything.
168
00:13:38,276 --> 00:13:40,361
Happy jazz fest! How y'all doin'?
169
00:13:41,154 --> 00:13:45,325
Everybody needs a chair!
Get your chair here.
170
00:13:46,284 --> 00:13:48,995
Every year I come, I look, I say,
"I can't believe this."
171
00:13:49,078 --> 00:13:52,498
It's like we've created
our own world here.
172
00:13:52,582 --> 00:13:55,835
We create a little city out there
for seven days.
173
00:14:06,095 --> 00:14:10,808
On a really big day,
if we have close to 100,000 people,
174
00:14:10,892 --> 00:14:13,644
we're the sixth-largest city in Louisiana.
175
00:14:57,105 --> 00:15:01,025
Mdou moctar from Niger!
176
00:15:04,487 --> 00:15:06,989
Welcome to New Orleans
jazz and heritage festival.
177
00:15:07,949 --> 00:15:11,369
Please hold your own ticket and open
all bags, which are subject to search.
178
00:15:23,464 --> 00:15:26,134
When your physical body
is at jazz fest,
179
00:15:26,217 --> 00:15:30,138
you're gonna hear something playing
within 500 feet.
180
00:15:30,221 --> 00:15:32,849
And when you're walking to get
your crab-stuffed beignets,
181
00:15:32,932 --> 00:15:36,018
you're gonna see the flash of the
lively feathers, and you're gonna walk,
182
00:15:36,102 --> 00:15:39,439
you're gonna see what happens,
and so the exploration
183
00:15:39,522 --> 00:15:43,276
that we sort of lose in this digital era,
184
00:15:44,318 --> 00:15:47,905
that exploration is back when you're there
and you're on your own two feet.
185
00:15:47,989 --> 00:15:49,490
Are you ready?
186
00:15:53,828 --> 00:15:55,621
Let's go!
187
00:15:57,165 --> 00:15:59,542
That's something
that is inside of all of us,
188
00:15:59,625 --> 00:16:01,878
like, we want to explore,
we wanna be surprised.
189
00:16:02,670 --> 00:16:07,383
And in the most celebratory of ways,
there's something around the corner
190
00:16:07,467 --> 00:16:10,261
at jazz fest that you physically
can't help but run into,
191
00:16:10,344 --> 00:16:12,555
thanks in large part to
the way the site is laid out.
192
00:16:12,638 --> 00:16:15,600
You can't walk from one stage to another
without seeing another stage.
193
00:16:16,350 --> 00:16:19,228
And in the meantime,
whether you want to or not,
194
00:16:19,312 --> 00:16:21,606
you're gonna experience something
195
00:16:21,689 --> 00:16:24,775
that your computer
wouldn't have put in your feed.
196
00:16:56,599 --> 00:17:00,853
There's wide gaps,
and there's enormous difference
197
00:17:00,937 --> 00:17:03,481
in tempos and style and delivery.
198
00:17:04,315 --> 00:17:06,817
But it's all under
this beautiful umbrella,
199
00:17:06,901 --> 00:17:11,822
this gorgeous music and cultural village
that is created
200
00:17:11,906 --> 00:17:13,449
with a single-minded purpose:
201
00:17:13,533 --> 00:17:18,663
Good music, culture, food,
by way of jazz fest.
202
00:17:18,746 --> 00:17:20,748
Cold beer, Rose!
203
00:17:22,291 --> 00:17:23,793
Cold beer, Rose!
204
00:17:27,171 --> 00:17:29,757
You're listening to 90.3, kexp.
205
00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:31,801
An extremely special day here,
206
00:17:31,884 --> 00:17:35,888
'cause with me is the legendary
preservation hall jazz band.
207
00:17:35,972 --> 00:17:37,640
And if you're all ready, take it away.
208
00:17:44,397 --> 00:17:46,315
It's called preservation hall.
209
00:17:46,399 --> 00:17:49,026
Day and night,
the purists come and hear jazz,
210
00:17:49,110 --> 00:17:51,821
played by old-timers like sweet Emma.
211
00:17:59,287 --> 00:18:02,123
New Orleans has a long history
of music halls.
212
00:18:02,206 --> 00:18:06,877
Every neighborhood had an entertainment
space that was attached to the church,
213
00:18:06,961 --> 00:18:10,006
and that is where weekend dances
would take place.
214
00:18:11,716 --> 00:18:15,011
My father and my mother created
preservation hall,
215
00:18:15,094 --> 00:18:18,764
and because of the energy
and the love that he and my mother
216
00:18:18,848 --> 00:18:22,143
gave to the community, they became
an important piece of the community.
217
00:18:46,125 --> 00:18:49,003
I don't know a New Orleans
before jazz fest.
218
00:18:49,086 --> 00:18:51,088
I was born in 1971.
219
00:18:51,172 --> 00:18:53,174
I'm actually a jazz fest baby.
220
00:18:56,427 --> 00:18:58,054
I was born January 26.
221
00:18:58,137 --> 00:19:03,893
You know, count back nine months,
it's pretty much jazz fest, you know?
222
00:19:03,976 --> 00:19:07,605
I'm not the only one.
There's a lot of January babies.
223
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:54,860
"Preservation," to me, means "protection."
224
00:19:54,944 --> 00:19:56,946
The name "preservation hall"
really captured
225
00:19:57,029 --> 00:19:58,739
what they were doing at that moment,
226
00:19:58,823 --> 00:20:02,451
which was protecting
this community of musicians,
227
00:20:02,535 --> 00:20:07,832
and that was jazz fest,
this idea to create preservation hall
228
00:20:07,915 --> 00:20:10,501
for New Orleans music
and New Orleans culture.
229
00:20:10,584 --> 00:20:13,295
Everybody! One more time!
230
00:20:13,379 --> 00:20:14,755
Hands up!
231
00:20:24,515 --> 00:20:28,477
- Jazz fest!
- New Orleans!
232
00:20:35,192 --> 00:20:37,778
In the early plantation days,
233
00:20:37,862 --> 00:20:41,866
there was a need for entertainment
of one sort or another.
234
00:20:41,949 --> 00:20:44,994
And after slaves had worked
for long periods of time,
235
00:20:45,077 --> 00:20:47,121
it made sense to a benevolent master,
236
00:20:47,204 --> 00:20:49,415
I suppose, to let them
entertain themselves.
237
00:20:49,498 --> 00:20:54,587
Well, they had a very definite pulse,
which was African in origin.
238
00:21:05,389 --> 00:21:09,477
What makes New Orleans unique,
musically and culturally,
239
00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:14,815
the slaves,
they were able to praise and worship
240
00:21:14,899 --> 00:21:17,943
and to beat their drum in Congo square.
241
00:21:25,534 --> 00:21:27,787
The drum calls in the spirit.
242
00:21:28,621 --> 00:21:29,997
They were allowed to do that.
243
00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:33,542
They were allowed to worship
and call in their god.
244
00:21:34,335 --> 00:21:38,923
And that's where we get
all these rhythms and these rhymes.
245
00:21:39,799 --> 00:21:44,053
That drum has just carried on from
generation to generation to generation.
246
00:21:44,136 --> 00:21:48,682
That's what's kept the music
and the culture so thick and so rich.
247
00:21:49,642 --> 00:21:51,936
Jazz fest 2019!
248
00:21:52,019 --> 00:21:55,606
Give it up, y'all,
for Mr. Julian Addison on the drums!
249
00:22:03,697 --> 00:22:06,450
When that bass drum start,
it's like the heartbeat.
250
00:22:06,534 --> 00:22:09,414
When the tuba starts pumpin', that's that
blood flowin' through the body.
251
00:22:09,453 --> 00:22:12,039
So once the blood starts to flow
with the heartbeat,
252
00:22:12,623 --> 00:22:15,183
it takes the kidney, which is the
snare drum to push you fonnard,
253
00:22:15,251 --> 00:22:17,378
and the horns come in,
which is everything else.
254
00:22:27,555 --> 00:22:31,058
We start movin' and pumpin' and give
the audience that vibe and energy,
255
00:22:31,141 --> 00:22:35,104
we see they enjoyin' it, that makes us
enjoy it more, so we give them more.
256
00:22:35,187 --> 00:22:37,147
So it's exchange, exchange, exchange.
257
00:22:45,072 --> 00:22:47,717
There are people who come from
around the world to look for drummers
258
00:22:47,741 --> 00:22:49,743
from New Orleans because
there's a certain beat
259
00:22:49,827 --> 00:22:52,746
that drummers play here that
no other drummer is able to play,
260
00:22:52,830 --> 00:22:55,958
and that second line beat
with that extra beat to the drums,
261
00:22:56,041 --> 00:22:57,626
it's hard to teach someone.
262
00:22:57,710 --> 00:22:59,920
They have to feel it in order
to be able to execute it.
263
00:23:08,554 --> 00:23:13,809
The second one is the syncopated beat
that's central to all New Orleans music.
264
00:23:22,610 --> 00:23:26,655
Second line band initially
was done for funerals.
265
00:23:27,448 --> 00:23:29,950
Was to march real slow
on the way to the funeral.
266
00:23:30,034 --> 00:23:33,996
That's how you lay the dead away,
with a band.
267
00:23:48,052 --> 00:23:51,388
First of all, the jazz funeral,
who wouldn't want one, right?
268
00:23:54,183 --> 00:23:56,977
J� dearly walkin' close to thee j�
269
00:23:59,271 --> 00:24:01,106
j� let it be j�
270
00:24:01,815 --> 00:24:04,735
j� dear lord, let it be j�
271
00:24:06,111 --> 00:24:11,742
to be honored in such a way,
where musicians from all genres
272
00:24:11,825 --> 00:24:16,121
of New Orleans and Louisiana music,
we all come together.
273
00:24:16,205 --> 00:24:20,876
We put on our best dress
to say goodbye to our loved one.
274
00:24:23,587 --> 00:24:26,757
J� I'll be satisfied just as long j�
275
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:30,552
we march, we honor you,
we tilt our hats.
276
00:24:30,636 --> 00:24:31,845
We rare back.
277
00:24:32,763 --> 00:24:37,059
J� dear, dearly walkin' close to thee j�
278
00:24:37,142 --> 00:24:40,312
we have a period of mourning,
but right after that,
279
00:24:40,396 --> 00:24:43,065
we celebrate the life
and remember the good things.
280
00:24:43,941 --> 00:24:46,902
We leave the cemetery...
281
00:24:48,904 --> 00:24:53,784
And we strike up what we consider
a lively number,
282
00:24:54,827 --> 00:24:58,122
to make the people forget their griefs
and their sorrows
283
00:24:59,081 --> 00:25:01,625
and take their minds off of
what has just happened.
284
00:25:09,258 --> 00:25:11,552
It brings the community back together.
285
00:25:12,011 --> 00:25:16,890
It ties the person's legacy
to our community.
286
00:25:16,974 --> 00:25:18,851
That's the celebration of a jazz funeral.
287
00:25:27,735 --> 00:25:30,696
In america, I don't think any city
has a better relationship
288
00:25:30,779 --> 00:25:33,365
with death than New Orleans.
It goes hand in hand.
289
00:25:33,449 --> 00:25:36,535
The suffering and the joy
are right along next to each other.
290
00:25:41,331 --> 00:25:44,291
In New Orleans, there's
a lot of what they call "'oie de vivre,"
291
00:25:44,334 --> 00:25:45,210
joy of living.
292
00:25:45,294 --> 00:25:47,838
It's kind of like the idea
of enjoying life
293
00:25:47,921 --> 00:25:49,548
with everything you can while you can.
294
00:25:49,631 --> 00:25:52,801
It's celebration almost in defiance
of the odds.
295
00:25:52,885 --> 00:25:54,970
We celebrate when a child is born
296
00:25:55,054 --> 00:25:58,307
and we also celebrate
when someone leaves the earth.
297
00:25:58,390 --> 00:26:00,225
There's a deep spirituality in that.
298
00:26:04,021 --> 00:26:05,355
That's what it's all about.
299
00:26:05,439 --> 00:26:09,651
It's not, "they're gone,"
but, "they're still with us in spirit."
300
00:26:09,735 --> 00:26:11,904
The resurrection of spirit and will,
301
00:26:11,987 --> 00:26:17,201
and a choice to live
and live with great expression.
302
00:26:18,285 --> 00:26:22,873
It is now audience-participation time!
303
00:26:25,334 --> 00:26:27,878
Did ya bring your handkerchief
or your napkin?
304
00:26:30,631 --> 00:26:34,676
For the benefit of those folks who have
never participated in an audience before,
305
00:26:35,636 --> 00:26:38,806
we are about to do what we call
the outdoor second line!
306
00:26:39,848 --> 00:26:42,768
And I want you to get out
your handkerchiefs, umbrellas,
307
00:26:42,851 --> 00:26:45,771
napkins, hats, whatever you got.
308
00:26:46,647 --> 00:26:50,692
And I want you to wave your handkerchief
or napkins in the air.
309
00:26:50,776 --> 00:26:54,071
And I want you to put your backfield
in motion.
310
00:26:55,781 --> 00:26:59,576
I was lucky to be born at a time
when music was very, very prevalent
311
00:26:59,660 --> 00:27:01,662
and they used music
to get over everything.
312
00:27:01,745 --> 00:27:04,081
When you were sad, you sung,
when you were happy, you sung.
313
00:27:04,164 --> 00:27:06,291
Are you ready out there?
314
00:27:07,334 --> 00:27:09,378
Are you ready out there?
315
00:27:10,504 --> 00:27:12,047
Play one!
316
00:27:22,141 --> 00:27:27,146
We're one of the few port cities where all
the immigrants who have music to share,
317
00:27:27,229 --> 00:27:29,982
we intertwine it within the music
that we're playing.
318
00:27:30,065 --> 00:27:33,193
There is no such thing as
separation of culture in New Orleans.
319
00:27:33,277 --> 00:27:34,486
It's all blended together.
320
00:27:34,570 --> 00:27:37,781
J� yeah, my spyboy told your spyboy j�
321
00:27:37,865 --> 00:27:40,033
j� sitting by the fire j�
322
00:27:40,117 --> 00:27:42,953
j� my spyboy told your spyboy j�
323
00:27:43,036 --> 00:27:45,247
j� I'm gonna set your flags on fire j�
324
00:27:45,330 --> 00:27:46,999
j� talkin' 'bout hey now

325
00:27:47,082 --> 00:27:49,751

j� jock-a-mo fee na ne j�
328
00:27:56,008 --> 00:28:01,221
my very first jazz fest was in 1974,
and I have not missed one since that time.
329
00:28:01,305 --> 00:28:04,391
J� anybody say hey, hey, hey j�
330
00:28:04,474 --> 00:28:05,934
j� hey, pocky way j�
331
00:28:06,977 --> 00:28:10,564
j� yeah, hey, hey, hey
hey, pocky way j�
332
00:28:11,315 --> 00:28:12,733
j� right on j�
333
00:28:13,817 --> 00:28:14,985
j� uptown rulerj�
334
00:28:15,694 --> 00:28:18,447
j� just get on down j�
335
00:28:18,530 --> 00:28:20,616
j� oh, boogie on j�
336
00:29:52,666 --> 00:29:56,878
Everywhere you walk
in New Orleans, you're walking in history.
337
00:29:57,921 --> 00:29:59,881
Jazz, it's our music.
338
00:29:59,965 --> 00:30:02,009
You know, it's indigenous
to the United States.
339
00:30:05,137 --> 00:30:08,974
New Orleans is sacred ground ofjazz.
340
00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:24,948
Ellis marsalis himself
is a great jazz master,
341
00:30:25,032 --> 00:30:26,867
but he's also a teacher,
342
00:30:27,492 --> 00:30:32,205
and his greatest teaching
was mentoring his four sons.
343
00:30:32,289 --> 00:30:34,666
We're talking about wynton marsalis,
344
00:30:34,750 --> 00:30:38,670
branford marsalis,
Jason and delfeayo marsalis.
345
00:31:04,071 --> 00:31:09,117
I have six sons,
four of which are musicians.
346
00:31:31,473 --> 00:31:33,934
I remember my first jazz festival,
it was 50 years ago.
347
00:31:34,017 --> 00:31:36,645
We would go every year,
and some years my dad played.
348
00:31:36,728 --> 00:31:39,898
I wouldn't really go to hear my dad.
I hear him all the time.
349
00:31:43,068 --> 00:31:46,238
Jazz fest was the first time
I actually met miles Davis.
350
00:31:46,321 --> 00:31:49,001
It was weird. I knew who he was,
but a part of me didn't really care
351
00:31:49,074 --> 00:31:50,700
because I was maybe 8 years old.
352
00:31:50,784 --> 00:31:53,120
So, you know,
he signed his picture for me,
353
00:31:53,203 --> 00:31:55,539
and I think I was running around
and dropped it.
354
00:32:00,085 --> 00:32:03,964
I went to the first jazz fest. I remember
there was shrimp in the jambalaya.
355
00:32:04,047 --> 00:32:05,715
I remember how soulful it was.
356
00:32:05,799 --> 00:32:10,011
I remember walking into a tent
and James booker was there,
357
00:32:10,095 --> 00:32:11,638
and I had no idea who he was.
358
00:32:11,721 --> 00:32:14,641
He had the patch over his eye
and he looked up at me,
359
00:32:14,724 --> 00:32:16,893
and I just ran out of the tent.
360
00:32:35,620 --> 00:32:38,707
My earliest musical influences
was my family,
361
00:32:38,790 --> 00:32:41,334
from my father to my older brothers,
362
00:32:41,418 --> 00:32:45,839
because I was actually listening
to the records that they were putting out.
363
00:32:45,922 --> 00:32:49,301
I don't remember the first time
I played at jazz fest,
364
00:32:49,384 --> 00:32:53,638
but I suspect it was my dad
throwing wynton and I out there
365
00:32:53,722 --> 00:32:57,476
because he believes that everybody
should get fed to the lions.
366
00:32:58,977 --> 00:33:01,438
He thinks that it makes you
a better player.
367
00:33:01,521 --> 00:33:02,564
He's right about it.
368
00:33:03,648 --> 00:33:06,401
But I had fun playing with dad.
369
00:33:10,906 --> 00:33:13,575
I can remember playing at the jazz fest
when I was in high school.
370
00:33:13,658 --> 00:33:16,058
That was like a highlight of the year,
every year we would...
371
00:33:16,119 --> 00:33:20,248
We couldn't wait to play in the tent,
andlwas14, 15,16.
372
00:33:20,332 --> 00:33:21,458
That was a big deal.
373
00:33:21,541 --> 00:33:24,169
It was funny, even back then,
when we walked onto the stage,
374
00:33:24,252 --> 00:33:25,670
he ceased being my dad.
375
00:33:25,754 --> 00:33:28,173
He was the leader of the group.
376
00:33:28,256 --> 00:33:31,593
On the bandstand, it's about
trying to make the music sound good.
377
00:33:37,432 --> 00:33:40,602
Can't remember the last time all five
of us played, we almost never do it.
378
00:33:40,685 --> 00:33:42,854
This may be the last time
that we ever do it.
379
00:33:42,938 --> 00:33:45,273
Dad's 84.
It's not gonna happen a lot more.
380
00:33:45,357 --> 00:33:48,860
This one in particular is one where we're
all like, "yeah, we need to do this."
381
00:33:54,908 --> 00:33:59,663
It's nice to be wanted without
being in the picture in the post office.
382
00:34:16,012 --> 00:34:18,014
Yeah, there's no one style of music.
383
00:34:18,098 --> 00:34:20,684
Jazz started in the churches
down here around New Orleans.
384
00:34:20,767 --> 00:34:24,104
Each afternoon there's gonna be
six hours of music,
385
00:34:24,187 --> 00:34:28,608
and we're only charging two dollars
for adults and a dollar for kids.
386
00:34:38,743 --> 00:34:42,497
To have a festival in the
home field of the sacred ground ofjazz
387
00:34:42,581 --> 00:34:47,168
is to bring people in to
the very wide umbrella ofjazz.
388
00:34:55,760 --> 00:34:58,888
So much stylistically
has been borrowed from jazz.
389
00:34:58,972 --> 00:35:02,183
I think jazz can welcome
390
00:35:02,267 --> 00:35:06,187
all of its children back to its festival.
391
00:35:10,817 --> 00:35:13,862
Rock, soul, singer-songwriters, blues,
392
00:35:13,945 --> 00:35:19,075
all of them can come on back to,
in a way, the parents of this music.
393
00:35:20,702 --> 00:35:25,749
J� tell everybody b.B. King's in town j�
394
00:35:27,250 --> 00:35:29,836
j� got a dollar and a quarter
just rarin' to clown j�
395
00:35:29,919 --> 00:35:32,589
j� but don't let nobody play me cheap j�
396
00:35:32,672 --> 00:35:35,008
j� I got 50 cents more
that I'm gonna keep j�
397
00:35:35,091 --> 00:35:36,371
j� 80 let the good times roll j�
398
00:35:37,385 --> 00:35:39,054
j� let the good times roll j�
399
00:35:39,137 --> 00:35:41,473
j� I don't care if you're young or old j�
400
00:35:41,556 --> 00:35:44,309
j� get together, let the good times roll j�
401
00:35:53,526 --> 00:35:55,862
It's no wonder that jazz
was born in this area
402
00:35:55,945 --> 00:35:57,947
because the people are so enthusiastic.
403
00:35:58,031 --> 00:36:00,992
In other words, musically,
they know it and they are part of it.
404
00:36:01,076 --> 00:36:03,662
They produce it and they, I don't know,
405
00:36:03,745 --> 00:36:07,374
they have that certain little something
that feeds a guy like me,
406
00:36:07,457 --> 00:36:10,043
that makes me, oh, gosh, it nourishes me.
407
00:36:11,461 --> 00:36:13,546
J� you got me trained
to sit on a stage j�
408
00:36:13,630 --> 00:36:15,840
j� not show my rage for you j�
409
00:36:19,678 --> 00:36:23,348
j� got my love, it's not enough
I need to prove it to you j�
410
00:36:27,852 --> 00:36:30,313
j� what's the difference
what's the difference j�
411
00:36:30,397 --> 00:36:32,816
j� what's the difference in me now? J�
412
00:36:35,985 --> 00:36:38,446
j� I can change, I can change
I can change j�
413
00:36:38,530 --> 00:36:40,115
I think we do everything
414
00:36:40,198 --> 00:36:43,243
from blues to some of it's tinged
with R&B and rock 'n' roll.
415
00:36:43,326 --> 00:36:44,661
J� I'm on my way out! J�
416
00:36:45,787 --> 00:36:49,791
j� turn it on you
turn it on you j�
417
00:36:49,874 --> 00:36:52,419
j� I turn it on you, yeah j�
418
00:36:53,378 --> 00:36:54,879
j� you're bulletproof j�
419
00:36:54,963 --> 00:36:59,300
j� turn it on you
I turn it on you j�
420
00:36:59,384 --> 00:37:03,847
j� turn it on you
but you're bulletproof j�
421
00:37:03,930 --> 00:37:08,351
hello, jazz fest!
Oh, bulletproof, baby!
422
00:37:19,821 --> 00:37:23,658
I've been such a huge fan of New Orleans
blues, and, you know, music in general.
423
00:37:23,742 --> 00:37:25,827
That's why I came here.
There's a soul in the city.
424
00:37:27,829 --> 00:37:29,873
It's got angst. It's got a bite to it.
425
00:38:02,447 --> 00:38:06,993
Blues is a universal language.
It goes really deep, goes to deep waters.
426
00:38:07,076 --> 00:38:10,789
It's at the heart ofjazz
and rock 'n' roll and so much else.
427
00:38:10,872 --> 00:38:16,252
And for that reason, the blues
speaks to people, and you can't help
428
00:38:16,336 --> 00:38:20,131
but think about that with New Orleans
and the history of the city.
429
00:38:20,215 --> 00:38:22,634
I think it's part of what makes it
so special.
430
00:38:37,357 --> 00:38:40,109
The culture here has been
the anchor for me.
431
00:38:40,193 --> 00:38:43,363
It's the first time I heard jazz
and R&B and second line,
432
00:38:43,446 --> 00:38:45,406
was in the quarter,
and I never got over that.
433
00:38:45,490 --> 00:38:47,659
You know, the rhythm is so infectious.
434
00:38:47,742 --> 00:38:51,788
J� woke up this mornin'
feelin' round for my shoes j�
435
00:38:51,871 --> 00:38:54,958
j� you know I have them mean ol'
walkin' blues j�
436
00:38:56,000 --> 00:39:00,129
j� woke up this mornin'
look 'round for my shoes j�
437
00:39:04,008 --> 00:39:08,471
j� you know I have them mean, mean ol'
walkin' blues j�
438
00:39:12,433 --> 00:39:16,729
j� some people try to tell me
the blues ain't so bad j�
439
00:39:16,813 --> 00:39:19,816
j� but it's the meanest thing I ever had j�
440
00:39:20,775 --> 00:39:25,196
j� some people tell
lord, the blues ain't bad j�
441
00:39:29,117 --> 00:39:32,954
j� but it's the meanest thing
I believe I ever had j�
442
00:40:02,191 --> 00:40:03,693
J� gonna run to the ocean j�
443
00:40:04,736 --> 00:40:07,697
I started out playing trumpet
when I was 10 years old.
444
00:40:07,780 --> 00:40:09,741
Came at the guitar
with a different perspective,
445
00:40:09,824 --> 00:40:11,868
more so as a wind instrument player.
446
00:40:11,951 --> 00:40:13,494
Learning how to take a breath
447
00:40:13,578 --> 00:40:17,916
when you play to fit that
into your melodic sensibility.
448
00:40:17,999 --> 00:40:22,337
J� woke up this mornin'
feelin' 'round for my shoes j�
449
00:40:22,420 --> 00:40:25,423
j� you know I had them mean ol'
walkin' blues j�
450
00:40:26,507 --> 00:40:30,553
j� woke up this mornin'
feelin' 'round for my shoes j�
451
00:40:34,724 --> 00:40:38,645
j� you know I had them mean, mean ol'
walkin' blues j�
452
00:40:42,523 --> 00:40:45,318
j� I got to walk around j�
453
00:40:46,277 --> 00:40:49,739
j� I got to walk around j�
454
00:40:49,822 --> 00:40:52,200
people keep coming back
for a reason, you know?
455
00:40:52,283 --> 00:40:56,037
And not only that, I mean, this happens
all the time, people move here.
456
00:40:56,120 --> 00:40:57,205
Some never leave.
457
00:40:58,790 --> 00:41:02,669
There's something about here
that you tap into that soulful quality.
458
00:41:02,752 --> 00:41:05,004
You can't help but get some of that,
459
00:41:05,088 --> 00:41:07,966
you know, either in the air
or the humidity or whatever.
460
00:41:11,970 --> 00:41:13,596
Cold beer, cold beer, cold beer!
461
00:41:14,472 --> 00:41:19,352
The general idea of being in the sun
for seven or eight hours
462
00:41:19,435 --> 00:41:22,939
and only eating fried, cream-based food,
463
00:41:23,022 --> 00:41:26,067
that is a distinctly New Orleans concept.
464
00:41:30,613 --> 00:41:32,865
Let's rock and roll.
And we're cooking cracklins!
465
00:41:33,825 --> 00:41:37,286
Cracklins is the skin,
fat and meat of a hog.
466
00:41:38,621 --> 00:41:41,791
I think the food is a little bit more
important than people really understand.
467
00:41:41,874 --> 00:41:45,169
It's not just New Orleans food, it's the
food from all over the state of Louisiana.
468
00:41:46,629 --> 00:41:48,339
Now, if the music wasn't there,
469
00:41:48,423 --> 00:41:50,341
I won't say that the same number of people
470
00:41:50,425 --> 00:41:54,220
would be there, but a lot of people
would be there to eat this food.
471
00:42:00,977 --> 00:42:03,730
Best food in the world!
472
00:42:03,813 --> 00:42:07,775
We sell praline beignets,
crab meat beignets,
473
00:42:07,859 --> 00:42:10,987
and the calas, which is a rice fritter.
474
00:42:11,070 --> 00:42:13,823
Oh, we have 50,000 serving plus.
475
00:42:13,906 --> 00:42:17,160
You get a beignet, you get a beignet,
you get a beignet! Nah, I'm just kiddin'.
476
00:42:18,578 --> 00:42:20,163
Whoo, ooh!
477
00:42:20,246 --> 00:42:21,956
Shrimp remoulade po' boy.
478
00:42:22,040 --> 00:42:24,292
We'll go through a couple thousand
pounds of chicken,
479
00:42:24,375 --> 00:42:26,419
couple thousand pounds of shrimp.
480
00:42:28,504 --> 00:42:31,132
We tend to gain about ten pounds
at jazz fest.
481
00:42:31,215 --> 00:42:33,926
I think all of our arteries
get clogged that day.
482
00:42:34,010 --> 00:42:37,764
If it's cooked and it looks right
and it tastes good, I'll eat it.
483
00:42:37,847 --> 00:42:40,141
And consequently,
I'm paying a price for that.
484
00:42:40,767 --> 00:42:43,853
The cochon de iait has been to the
New Orleans jazz fest for 50 years.
485
00:42:43,936 --> 00:42:46,481
We move about a couple thousand
sandwiches on a busy day.
486
00:42:47,648 --> 00:42:49,192
I started to retain water.
487
00:42:49,275 --> 00:42:52,153
And the doctor that I saw,
he said, "welcome to New Orleans."
488
00:42:53,362 --> 00:42:57,450
We have a gourmet plate,
and on that plate is a crawfish stack,
489
00:42:57,533 --> 00:43:02,288
an oyster Patty and crawfish beignet
with a white remoulade sauce.
490
00:43:03,081 --> 00:43:04,874
I love to go get the stuffed crabs.
491
00:43:04,957 --> 00:43:06,459
My favorite is the bread pudding.
492
00:43:06,542 --> 00:43:08,711
- Jambalaya.
- Trout amandine.
493
00:43:08,795 --> 00:43:10,880
Try some alligator, try some boudin.
494
00:43:15,927 --> 00:43:19,430
We do a crawfish remoulade salad,
and also we sell boudin balls.
495
00:43:19,514 --> 00:43:20,389
Which is fried.
496
00:43:20,473 --> 00:43:23,351
So we go through
almost 200 cases of balls a weekend.
497
00:43:23,434 --> 00:43:26,020
Don't leave the fest without your balls!
You know?
498
00:43:27,939 --> 00:43:31,859
Let me tell you, I tried something that
blew my mind, which was fried oysters.
499
00:43:31,943 --> 00:43:33,903
I hadn't had that yet.
I was like, whoa.
500
00:43:34,320 --> 00:43:36,114
And this dish could get you
in some trouble.
501
00:43:36,197 --> 00:43:38,478
You eat too many of those,
you might not make it on-stage.
502
00:43:40,701 --> 00:43:43,329
Now, for everybody
that's represented here today,
503
00:43:44,539 --> 00:43:46,299
I wanna let y'all know
I've been very blessed
504
00:43:46,332 --> 00:43:48,000
to be able to travel the whole world,
505
00:43:48,126 --> 00:43:52,421
and I get a chance
to be a part of something that's...
506
00:43:52,505 --> 00:43:54,257
Something that brings everybody together.
507
00:43:55,424 --> 00:43:57,468
Something that makes
the United States of America
508
00:43:57,552 --> 00:44:00,388
the United States of America,
not the divided states of america.
509
00:44:01,097 --> 00:44:05,560
Doesn't matter if you're black, white,
pink, purple, orange, hispanic, Asian.
510
00:44:05,643 --> 00:44:08,020
We all speak music here today.
511
00:44:09,689 --> 00:44:11,482
Why is New Orleans so special?
512
00:44:11,566 --> 00:44:13,326
Because they know exactly
where they're from.
513
00:44:13,359 --> 00:44:15,199
They know their roots.
They love their culture.
514
00:44:15,236 --> 00:44:18,614
They represent it in their music,
in their food, in their style.
515
00:44:18,698 --> 00:44:22,910
And that's why I feel that jazz fest
in New Orleans has that magic.
516
00:44:23,828 --> 00:44:26,122
Now I need y'all to help me out
with this one.
517
00:44:26,205 --> 00:44:27,540
And it says...
518
00:44:27,623 --> 00:44:30,918
J� the roof, the roof
the roof is on fire! J�
519
00:44:31,002 --> 00:44:34,964
- j� we don't need no water, let that... j�
-J� motherfucker burn! J�
520
00:44:35,047 --> 00:44:38,134
j� burn, motherfucker, burn! J�
521
00:44:49,687 --> 00:44:53,065
J� Mr. Worldwide to infinity

522
00:44:53,149 --> 00:44:55,943
j� we gon' boogie oogie oogie

523
00:44:56,027 --> 00:44:57,111

524
00:44:57,195 --> 00:44:59,906
j� we gon' drink drinks

525
00:44:59,989 --> 00:45:01,282
j� like the roof on fire j�
526
00:45:01,365 --> 00:45:03,385
j� now baby give a Booty naked

527
00:45:03,409 --> 00:45:04,702
j� and light the roof on fire j�
528
00:45:04,785 --> 00:45:07,163
j� I tell her, tell her baby, baby

529
00:45:07,246 --> 00:45:08,956
j� baby, baby, baby, I'm on fire j�
530
00:45:09,040 --> 00:45:10,809
j� I tell her baby, baby, baby

531
00:45:10,833 --> 00:45:13,461

532
00:45:14,962 --> 00:45:15,962
let's go!
533
00:45:18,799 --> 00:45:19,967
That's right!
534
00:45:21,010 --> 00:45:22,905
J� I tell her baby, baby
baby, baby, baby, baby j�
535
00:45:22,929 --> 00:45:24,555
j� baby, baby, baby, I'm on fire j�
536
00:45:24,639 --> 00:45:27,016
j� I tell her baby, baby, baby
baby, baby, baby, baby j�
537
00:45:27,099 --> 00:45:28,434
j� baby, baby, I'm a fireball j�
538
00:45:28,517 --> 00:45:29,852
j� I saw, icame, I conquered j�
539
00:45:29,936 --> 00:45:32,563
j� or should I say
I saw, iconquered, icame j�
540
00:45:32,647 --> 00:45:34,291
j� they say the chico on fire
and he no liar j�
541
00:45:34,315 --> 00:45:36,195
j� while y'all slippin'
he's runnin' the game j�
542
00:45:36,234 --> 00:45:37,568
j� now big bang boogie j�
543
00:45:37,652 --> 00:45:40,047
j� get that kitty little noogie
in a nice, nice little shade j�
544
00:45:40,071 --> 00:45:41,882
j� I gave Suzie a little pat up
on the Booty j�
545
00:45:41,906 --> 00:45:43,950
j� and she turned around and said
walk this way j�
546
00:45:44,033 --> 00:45:45,785
-j� I was born j� -j� 3-0-5! J�
547
00:45:45,868 --> 00:45:47,787
-j� in a flame j� -j� m-I-a! J�
548
00:45:47,870 --> 00:45:50,373
j� mama said that everyone
would know my name j�
549
00:45:50,456 --> 00:45:51,832
j� that's right! J�
550
00:45:51,916 --> 00:45:53,584
-j� I'm the best j�
-j� that's right! J�
551
00:45:53,668 --> 00:45:55,419
-j� you've ever had j�
-j� that's right! J�
552
00:45:55,503 --> 00:45:59,215
j� if you think I'm burning out
I never am j�
553
00:45:59,298 --> 00:46:02,843
-j� we on... j�
-j� I'm on fire j�
554
00:46:02,927 --> 00:46:06,222
-j� everybody here, we on... j�
-j� I'm on fire j�
555
00:46:07,098 --> 00:46:10,685
-j� jazz fest, we on... j�
-j� I'm on fire j�
556
00:46:10,768 --> 00:46:13,479
j� I'm on fire j�
557
00:46:14,814 --> 00:46:15,814
j� fireball j�
558
00:46:17,316 --> 00:46:18,442
j� let's go! J�
559
00:46:18,526 --> 00:46:22,405
being a Miami boy, my family's from Cuba.
I'm a first-generation Cuban-American.
560
00:46:22,488 --> 00:46:25,408
The connection between New Orleans,
Cuba, and Miami,
561
00:46:25,491 --> 00:46:28,744
it's almost like our own little
Bermuda triangle that we've got going on.
562
00:46:29,495 --> 00:46:33,582
So we all basically love and stand
for the same things,
563
00:46:33,666 --> 00:46:36,585
but it's art and music and food.
564
00:46:36,669 --> 00:46:40,548
J� baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
baby, baby, baby, baby, I'm on fire j�
565
00:46:40,631 --> 00:46:43,759
j� tell her baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
where we goin', girl? J�
566
00:46:43,843 --> 00:46:47,179
such a beautiful thing when you make
a mixture of so many different cultures,
567
00:46:47,263 --> 00:46:48,347
what you come up with.
568
00:46:48,431 --> 00:46:51,726
We call it una paella,
they call it a gumbo,
569
00:46:52,810 --> 00:46:54,270
but it's basically the same concept.
570
00:46:54,353 --> 00:46:57,148
J� we 're taking it, we 're taking it
we 're taking it down j�
571
00:46:57,231 --> 00:47:00,860
that's what jazz fest is about, you know,
just all kind of different music
572
00:47:00,943 --> 00:47:03,487
and cultures, sounds and flavors.
573
00:47:03,571 --> 00:47:05,531
It brings everybody together.
574
00:47:05,614 --> 00:47:09,493
So that is why, to be able to be a part
of something like this,
575
00:47:09,577 --> 00:47:11,037
is something that's so powerful.
576
00:47:11,120 --> 00:47:13,800
J� we 're bringing it, we 're bringing it
we 're bringing it back j�
577
00:47:14,498 --> 00:47:15,499
j� fireball! J�
578
00:47:17,418 --> 00:47:18,418
let's go!
579
00:47:21,047 --> 00:47:22,214
That's right!
580
00:47:24,842 --> 00:47:25,843
Get some!
581
00:47:30,222 --> 00:47:31,474
J� fireball j�
582
00:47:38,481 --> 00:47:40,161
J� I tell her baby, baby, baby
baby, babyj�
583
00:47:40,191 --> 00:47:42,068
j� baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
I'm on fire j�
584
00:47:42,151 --> 00:47:46,739
j� I tell her baby, baby, baby, baby
baby, baby, I'm a fireball j�
585
00:47:58,292 --> 00:48:00,002
I would tell anybody, you know,
586
00:48:00,086 --> 00:48:01,921
when you have a chance
to come to New Orleans,
587
00:48:02,004 --> 00:48:05,549
also make sure you have
an extra few days to go down to Lafayette.
588
00:48:05,633 --> 00:48:07,593
People think swamp people,
they're in New Orleans.
589
00:48:07,635 --> 00:48:11,639
No, they in the swamp, you know,
and you gotta go out and check 'em out.
590
00:48:18,687 --> 00:48:20,189
Get out in the swamp.
591
00:48:20,272 --> 00:48:22,400
Well, I think that's always
a good thing to do,
592
00:48:22,483 --> 00:48:24,527
just to see it and get a feel of it.
593
00:48:29,031 --> 00:48:32,159
A lot of music that ends up in New Orleans
comes from the country.
594
00:48:32,243 --> 00:48:34,412
It comes from, you know, rural areas.
595
00:48:44,463 --> 00:48:49,260
I'm from eunice, Louisiana,
and I play cajun music.
596
00:48:51,053 --> 00:48:53,597
It's a very small,
rural agricultural town.
597
00:48:53,681 --> 00:48:55,891
It has a lot of very old families
that live there.
598
00:48:55,975 --> 00:48:59,687
In fact, my children are the seventh
generation living on the same land,
599
00:49:00,396 --> 00:49:02,648
which is not uncommon in our area.
600
00:49:04,817 --> 00:49:09,113
People are very deeply rooted into their
culture and have maintained the language,
601
00:49:09,196 --> 00:49:11,073
and the music, and the way of life.
602
00:49:12,116 --> 00:49:14,243
Why change?
We have the best of everything.
603
00:49:18,164 --> 00:49:21,834
The repertoire that we play, we've been
playing it ever since we were children.
604
00:49:21,917 --> 00:49:25,671
I would call it a homemade music,
and it's straight from the heart.
605
00:49:27,965 --> 00:49:34,221
It's very rhythmic music, and it was
developed for one reason: To dance to.
606
00:49:53,908 --> 00:49:57,369
You had to get them dancin',
and that was what we always strive to do.
607
00:49:57,453 --> 00:50:01,749
I mean, the seats at the places
were facin' the dance floor,
608
00:50:01,832 --> 00:50:05,461
not facin' the band,
because the dancin' is the show,
609
00:50:05,544 --> 00:50:07,713
where people would dance
all around in a circle.
610
00:50:18,015 --> 00:50:21,936
People generally don't know the
difference between cajun and zydeco music.
611
00:50:22,019 --> 00:50:25,898
First of all, one's basically Caucasian,
one is basically black.
612
00:50:27,191 --> 00:50:30,861
Cajun music has a fiddle, an accordion,
613
00:50:30,945 --> 00:50:35,449
a triangle, guitar, bass and drums,
sometimes pedal steel.
614
00:50:35,533 --> 00:50:40,913
And it does this whole body
of traditional cajun songs.
615
00:50:55,261 --> 00:51:00,266
Now, zydeco, zydeco is like
a freight train going through a tunnel.
616
00:51:07,815 --> 00:51:09,608
J� it's been such a long time j�
617
00:51:10,234 --> 00:51:11,902
j� since you said "I want ya" j�
618
00:51:12,570 --> 00:51:14,363
j� it's been such a long time j�
619
00:51:14,446 --> 00:51:19,201
in zydeco music, you've got an
electric accordion that's like that big.
620
00:51:19,285 --> 00:51:21,704
Mother of Pearl coming down
with your name in it.
621
00:51:23,122 --> 00:51:25,624
J� no matter how you feel
no matter how you do j�
622
00:51:25,708 --> 00:51:28,002
j� no matter how you act
no matter what you buy j�
623
00:51:28,085 --> 00:51:30,838
j� no matter how it is
no matter where you're from j�
624
00:51:31,714 --> 00:51:34,300
j� don't you know that
I'm comin' right home to you j�
625
00:51:34,883 --> 00:51:36,802
Then you always have a frottoir.
626
00:51:36,885 --> 00:51:41,849
The frottoir is the metal-like washboard
that you wear on the front
627
00:51:41,932 --> 00:51:47,605
over your shoulder, and there are points
in the song where you break it down,
628
00:51:47,688 --> 00:51:49,648
and it's just the accordion
and the frottoir,
629
00:51:49,732 --> 00:51:51,775
and the two of them are just, phew.
630
00:51:51,859 --> 00:51:53,068
Old school.
631
00:52:04,204 --> 00:52:09,668
Jazz fest is like where everybody wants
to come to see the talent of Louisiana,
632
00:52:09,752 --> 00:52:11,545
of New Orleans, the surrounding areas.
633
00:52:11,629 --> 00:52:15,007
If you play music and you from Louisiana,
this is where you wanna be.
634
00:52:35,486 --> 00:52:39,156
My father's real name
is alton rubin senior,
635
00:52:39,239 --> 00:52:41,033
but most people know him
as rockin' dopsie.
636
00:52:41,116 --> 00:52:44,662
J� goodbye, Joe, me gotta go
me, oh, my, oh j�
637
00:52:45,663 --> 00:52:49,166
j� me gotta go on the bayou j�
638
00:52:49,249 --> 00:52:53,545
Rockin' dopsie was in
the generation with Clifton chenier,
639
00:52:53,629 --> 00:52:55,881
and he called himself the king
and he wore a crown.
640
00:52:59,385 --> 00:53:03,555
And just rocked the place,
just a rocket ship of energy.
641
00:53:03,639 --> 00:53:06,725
J� dressed in style
go hog wild and dance j�
642
00:53:07,351 --> 00:53:10,729
j� son of a gun, we 're gonna have fun
on the bayou j�
643
00:53:11,563 --> 00:53:15,109
j� jambalaya, crawfish pie, fi/� gumbo j�
644
00:53:15,859 --> 00:53:19,113
j� for tonight I'm gonna see
my ma Cher ami-o j�
645
00:53:20,114 --> 00:53:23,909
j� pick guitar, fill fruit jar
and be gay-o j�
646
00:53:23,992 --> 00:53:27,246
j� son of a gun, we 're gonna have fun
on the bayou j�
647
00:53:27,955 --> 00:53:29,915
one more time, one more time!
648
00:53:33,585 --> 00:53:37,840
Jimmy buffett is very,
very special to this festival.
649
00:53:37,923 --> 00:53:40,193
I think you've earned
a ticket to margaritaville
650
00:53:40,217 --> 00:53:42,302
by standing here all day,
are you ready?
651
00:53:42,386 --> 00:53:43,554
Let's go!
652
00:53:43,637 --> 00:53:47,725
He's been responsible
for drawing more people
653
00:53:47,808 --> 00:53:51,186
to the New Orleans jazz and heritage
festival than maybe anyone else.
654
00:53:51,979 --> 00:53:53,772
J� nibblin' on sponge cake j�
655
00:53:55,566 --> 00:53:57,568
j� watchin' the sun bake j�
656
00:53:59,069 --> 00:54:03,240
j� all of you parrot heads here
at jazz fest j�
657
00:54:07,035 --> 00:54:09,246
j� strummin' my six-string j�
658
00:54:10,956 --> 00:54:13,041
j� on my front-porch swing j�
659
00:54:14,585 --> 00:54:18,630
I been to a bunch of 'em,
but I gotta say this looks like the best!
660
00:54:22,968 --> 00:54:26,722
J� wastin' away again in margaritaville j�
661
00:54:29,767 --> 00:54:34,229
j� searchin' for my lost shaker of salt j�
662
00:54:34,313 --> 00:54:37,566
j� salt! Salt! Salt! J�
663
00:54:37,649 --> 00:54:43,280
j� some people claim
that there's a woman to blame j�
664
00:54:43,363 --> 00:54:44,740
who's got it? Who's got it?
665
00:54:44,823 --> 00:54:46,116
J� but I know j�
666
00:54:48,076 --> 00:54:49,328
j� it's nobody's fault j�
667
00:54:49,411 --> 00:54:51,705
I grew up on the Gulf coast.
668
00:54:51,789 --> 00:54:54,458
I was an 18-year-old virgin
jesuit altar boy,
669
00:54:54,541 --> 00:54:56,960
and I came to New Orleans
to not be that.
670
00:54:57,044 --> 00:54:59,546
J� I come here each season j�
671
00:55:01,340 --> 00:55:03,133
we couldn't get to California,
672
00:55:03,217 --> 00:55:05,761
so we kinda hippied out
right here in New Orleans.
673
00:55:08,764 --> 00:55:11,141
J� but it's a real beauty j�
674
00:55:12,726 --> 00:55:15,020
j� all these Louisiana cuties j�
675
00:55:16,730 --> 00:55:21,401
I know I got a few that slid over
from Mississippi and got a clue!
676
00:55:21,485 --> 00:55:23,737
Everything about the songs I heard,
677
00:55:23,821 --> 00:55:26,573
the melodies and the rhythms that I love,
came out of here.
678
00:55:26,657 --> 00:55:28,992
J� ...Again in margaritaville j�
679
00:55:30,118 --> 00:55:31,328
looking good!
680
00:55:32,287 --> 00:55:36,542
J� searchin' for my lost shaker of salt j�
681
00:55:36,625 --> 00:55:39,461
j� salt! Salt! Salt! J�
682
00:55:40,003 --> 00:55:46,385
j� some people claim
that there's a woman to blame j�
683
00:55:46,468 --> 00:55:48,428
j� but I know j�
684
00:55:50,472 --> 00:55:51,849
j� this could be my fault j�
685
00:55:52,683 --> 00:55:53,684
maybe.
686
00:55:54,351 --> 00:55:57,062
When I was headlining
the bayou room on bourbon street,
687
00:55:57,145 --> 00:55:59,982
making $150 a week,
I thought I'd made it.
688
00:56:02,568 --> 00:56:04,319
Cinco de Mayo!
689
00:56:04,403 --> 00:56:06,238
Muchas gracias, mis amigos!
690
00:56:19,668 --> 00:56:23,338
I couldn't wait to sing "margaritaville"
on cinco de Mayo, goddamn!
691
00:56:24,631 --> 00:56:28,385
And Joseph Campbell said you gotta
have a little mythology in your life,
692
00:56:28,468 --> 00:56:30,262
and I grew up in it,
693
00:56:30,345 --> 00:56:34,641
and so I know that it is absolutely
a part of everything that I've done,
694
00:56:34,725 --> 00:56:37,102
from writing shows to writing songs,
695
00:56:37,185 --> 00:56:39,396
comes out of being
a child of the mardi gras.
696
00:56:39,980 --> 00:56:42,774
Every year,
the city takes on new life
697
00:56:42,858 --> 00:56:44,860
in preparation for its carnival time.
698
00:56:44,943 --> 00:56:49,031
Mardi gras is a day
when people lose their inhibitions
699
00:56:49,114 --> 00:56:51,867
and throw modesty to the wind.
700
00:56:51,950 --> 00:56:55,412
New Orleans has what we call mardi gras.
701
00:57:15,182 --> 00:57:19,645
Because we have mardi gras, we have
these huge school marching bands.
702
00:57:24,024 --> 00:57:27,110
Every kid in high school
is given an instrument
703
00:57:27,194 --> 00:57:30,989
and taught to play these songs and march
a couple miles through New Orleans.
704
00:57:35,369 --> 00:57:41,959
In how many places does a kid,
in his 13s, 15s, 16s, want a trombone?
705
00:57:44,711 --> 00:57:46,254
That's happening in New Orleans.
706
00:57:52,678 --> 00:57:54,096
I saw that as a child,
707
00:57:54,179 --> 00:57:57,849
I saw that brass band,
those jazz musicians was always clean.
708
00:57:57,933 --> 00:57:59,810
Everybody shook their hand.
709
00:57:59,893 --> 00:58:03,105
Family seemed to live a little better
than the average family in the 'hood.
710
00:58:13,490 --> 00:58:16,410
Not a moment that I didn't wake up
that I didn't want to be a musician,
711
00:58:16,493 --> 00:58:18,328
'cause that's what
I was surrounded around.
712
00:58:18,412 --> 00:58:19,579
Let me hear you say...
713
00:58:19,663 --> 00:58:23,041
J� I can do bad by myself j�
714
00:58:24,126 --> 00:58:27,129
j� said I don't need nobody else j�
715
00:58:28,088 --> 00:58:31,425
j� I can do bad by myself j�
716
00:58:32,217 --> 00:58:34,845
j� well, I don't need nobody else j�
717
00:58:34,928 --> 00:58:36,847
that's the thing about jazz fest.
718
00:58:36,930 --> 00:58:38,849
I'm this little kid
from the 'hood, you know,
719
00:58:38,932 --> 00:58:40,434
I just always wanted to play music.
720
00:58:42,102 --> 00:58:43,937
Start clappin' right now!
721
00:58:47,858 --> 00:58:50,736
J� early, early in the morning j�
722
00:58:50,819 --> 00:58:54,865
to be a mardi gras Indian,
we are a bunch of grown men
723
00:58:54,948 --> 00:58:56,867
walking around
and saying we're the prettiest.
724
00:58:56,950 --> 00:58:59,327
You wanna be the best,
but at the same time,
725
00:58:59,411 --> 00:59:02,831
you don't wanna lose why we do it.
We do it to pay homage.
726
00:59:06,877 --> 00:59:09,129
The mardi gras Indian tradition
is a combination
727
00:59:09,212 --> 00:59:11,256
of two cultures coming together,
728
00:59:11,339 --> 00:59:13,800
both native American and African American.
729
00:59:15,343 --> 00:59:17,304
During the time
of the underground railroad,
730
00:59:17,387 --> 00:59:19,347
a lot of slaves
that were trying to escape,
731
00:59:19,431 --> 00:59:23,435
the Indians allowed them to seek shelter,
and they took them into their tribes.
732
00:59:24,686 --> 00:59:28,190
And the evolution of that is
today we have the mardi gras Indians
733
00:59:28,273 --> 00:59:30,358
paying homage to the history of that.
734
00:59:32,486 --> 00:59:36,740
You could walk around on mardi gras
looking for an Indian and never find one.
735
00:59:36,823 --> 00:59:38,825
But the jazz fest gives us another day
736
00:59:38,909 --> 00:59:42,496
to showcase the suits
on a much grander scale.
737
01:00:15,570 --> 01:00:19,491
J� I'm just your fool, can't help myself j�
738
01:00:19,574 --> 01:00:22,494
j� I love you, baby, and no one else j�
739
01:00:23,787 --> 01:00:27,541
j� I ain't crazy, you are my baby j�
740
01:00:27,624 --> 01:00:29,251
j� I'm just your fool j�
741
01:00:31,795 --> 01:00:35,465
j� I'm just your fool, I must confess j�
742
01:00:35,549 --> 01:00:39,052
j� I love you, baby
honey, I take your mess j�
743
01:00:39,886 --> 01:00:43,682
j� I ain't iyin', no use jivin' j�
744
01:00:43,765 --> 01:00:45,684
j� I'm just your fool j�
745
01:00:53,733 --> 01:00:54,860
Thank you!
746
01:00:58,989 --> 01:01:02,534
From day one, and we started
with a very small gospel tent...
747
01:01:05,412 --> 01:01:10,500
But the pastors said, "oh, no,
our choirs are not going out somewhere
748
01:01:10,584 --> 01:01:12,961
where people are wearing shorts
and drinkin' beer."
749
01:01:16,715 --> 01:01:21,344
But then as they realized
that it was spreading the word,
750
01:01:21,428 --> 01:01:24,431
people were getting it and feeling it,
eventually everyone came.
751
01:01:24,514 --> 01:01:26,391
And it's grown and grown and grown.
752
01:01:26,474 --> 01:01:28,852
Oh, yes!
753
01:01:30,979 --> 01:01:33,440
Jesus is on the main line.
754
01:01:33,523 --> 01:01:36,610
Call him up and tell him what you want.
755
01:01:36,693 --> 01:01:39,196
I mean, we have over 1000
gospel singers alone.
756
01:01:40,238 --> 01:01:42,449
J� everybody, everybody
everybody rejoice j�
757
01:01:42,532 --> 01:01:46,244
j� rejoice with me
rejoice with me j�
758
01:01:46,328 --> 01:01:47,996
j� rejoice with me j�
759
01:01:48,079 --> 01:01:50,665
in the south, all young people
grow up in the church.
760
01:01:50,749 --> 01:01:53,001
Church mothers would always tell me,
761
01:01:53,084 --> 01:01:55,587
"if you don't use it for god...
762
01:01:57,297 --> 01:01:58,548
He'll take it away from you."
763
01:01:59,841 --> 01:02:03,261
J� rejoice with me
rejoice with me j�
764
01:02:03,345 --> 01:02:06,056
The word "gospel"
is the good news of Christ.
765
01:02:06,139 --> 01:02:09,309
And what better way to spread
good news than music?
766
01:02:11,394 --> 01:02:15,148
-J� I got a feelin' j�
-j� got a fee/in'j�
767
01:02:15,232 --> 01:02:17,359
j� everything is gonna be all right j�
768
01:02:17,442 --> 01:02:19,986
j� oh, yeah j�
769
01:02:20,070 --> 01:02:22,405
-j� got a fee/in'j�
-j� got a feelin" j�
770
01:02:22,489 --> 01:02:25,367
There's something magical
in the gospel tent.
771
01:02:25,450 --> 01:02:28,745
People that you wouldn't think
are all drawn to it, they all go.
772
01:02:30,247 --> 01:02:34,334
Our gospel tent has exposed
traditional church gospel music,
773
01:02:34,417 --> 01:02:36,127
which is a huge community
in New Orleans,
774
01:02:36,211 --> 01:02:38,546
to more white people
than anything in history.
775
01:02:43,093 --> 01:02:44,135
J� all right j�
776
01:02:44,219 --> 01:02:46,221
you'll find me at jazz fest
in the gospel tent
777
01:02:46,304 --> 01:02:47,681
with tears running down my face,
778
01:02:47,764 --> 01:02:52,185
because the messages that are
happening in there are about forgiveness,
779
01:02:52,269 --> 01:02:54,604
redemption, celebration and joy.
780
01:02:54,688 --> 01:02:58,191
J� all right, all right j�
781
01:02:58,275 --> 01:03:01,569
People are seeking acceptance
and they're seeking forgiveness,
782
01:03:01,653 --> 01:03:03,154
and they find it here.
783
01:03:03,238 --> 01:03:05,323
J� all right j�
784
01:03:08,660 --> 01:03:12,998
Sit in the gospel tent for
45 minutes and watch what it do you.
785
01:03:13,081 --> 01:03:15,792
You go walkin', you come out
and just throw your hands up,
786
01:03:15,875 --> 01:03:18,336
walkin' out like that,
feeling the spirit is like...
787
01:03:18,962 --> 01:03:22,632
J� something hit me
from the crown of my head j�
788
01:03:23,591 --> 01:03:27,387
j� and went down to the sole of my feet j�
789
01:03:28,263 --> 01:03:30,557
j� and I started runnin' j�
790
01:03:32,225 --> 01:03:34,477
j� oh, yes, I did, now, nowj�
791
01:03:34,561 --> 01:03:37,731
j� I started clappin' my hands j�
792
01:03:37,814 --> 01:03:40,233
j� oh, yes, I did, nowj�
793
01:03:40,317 --> 01:03:44,195
j� I said I wasn't gonna tell nobody j�
794
01:03:45,447 --> 01:03:48,450
A! Green is maybe
the last ray Charles.
795
01:03:48,533 --> 01:03:51,328
He's one of the greatest
rhythm and blues singers ever.
796
01:03:51,411 --> 01:03:55,790
J� I told my father, I told my sister j�
797
01:03:55,874 --> 01:03:59,961
j� I told my brother, I been redeemed j�
798
01:04:00,045 --> 01:04:01,713
j� I been redeemed j�
799
01:04:01,796 --> 01:04:03,965
And he is heavily tied to gospel.
800
01:04:04,049 --> 01:04:06,801
I mean, he is reverend al green,
it's not a title.
801
01:04:06,885 --> 01:04:08,386
In Memphis, he's got a church.
802
01:04:08,470 --> 01:04:12,432
J� there's the blood of the lamb
and he's got all power j�
803
01:04:12,515 --> 01:04:16,603
j� power, power, powerj�
804
01:04:16,686 --> 01:04:18,396
j'ohlj�
805
01:04:18,480 --> 01:04:19,898
j� power j�
806
01:04:19,981 --> 01:04:21,441
you know, every Sunday he's there.
807
01:04:21,524 --> 01:04:23,109
This is what I call gospel.
808
01:04:23,193 --> 01:04:25,904
J� let's stay together j�
809
01:04:28,531 --> 01:04:30,575
- Somebody say yeah!
- Yeah!
810
01:04:30,658 --> 01:04:32,327
- Somebody say yeah!
- Yeah!
811
01:04:32,410 --> 01:04:35,455
Somebody way in the back,
back there, say yeah!
812
01:04:37,207 --> 01:04:41,002
The return of al green.
First public performance in seven years.
813
01:04:46,049 --> 01:04:47,425
Let's stay together.
814
01:04:51,513 --> 01:04:56,059
He was, like, reincarnated
as himself in his own lifetime.
815
01:04:56,142 --> 01:04:57,227
Everybody sing.
816
01:04:57,310 --> 01:04:59,437
J� whatever you want... j�
817
01:04:59,521 --> 01:05:02,982
he was thrilled to be
singing these songs again.
818
01:05:03,066 --> 01:05:08,321
J� you make me feel so brand-new j�
819
01:05:11,866 --> 01:05:16,287
j� I want to spend my life with you j�
820
01:05:19,082 --> 01:05:21,751
j� let me say that since

821
01:05:22,919 --> 01:05:27,215
-j� since we been togetherj�
-j� together, togetherj�
822
01:05:27,298 --> 01:05:31,428
-j� lovin' you forever j�
-j� ever j�
823
01:05:31,511 --> 01:05:35,598
j� ls what I need j�
824
01:05:35,682 --> 01:05:37,350
j� oh, let me j�
825
01:05:44,816 --> 01:05:50,697
J� I 'ii never be untrue j�
826
01:05:51,906 --> 01:05:52,906
everybody sing.
827
01:05:56,119 --> 01:05:58,288
J� let's stay together j�
828
01:06:00,457 --> 01:06:04,419
j� lovin' you whether whether j�
829
01:06:04,502 --> 01:06:09,549
-j� whether times are j�
-j� good or bad, happy or sad j�
830
01:06:11,050 --> 01:06:15,805
what happens with a soul singer
who has crossed over into secular music,
831
01:06:15,889 --> 01:06:17,515
they know how to come to that emotion
832
01:06:17,599 --> 01:06:20,518
because they've been in a congregation
of people that,
833
01:06:20,602 --> 01:06:23,480
in a way, you sang at the foot of god.
834
01:06:23,563 --> 01:06:25,482
J� whyj�
835
01:06:27,192 --> 01:06:31,196
-j� why do people break up? J�
-j� break up, break up j�
836
01:06:31,279 --> 01:06:34,282
-j� turn around and make j�
-j� make up j�
837
01:06:34,365 --> 01:06:38,036
Which is why
many of the greatest singers,
838
01:06:38,119 --> 01:06:41,122
from nat king Cole
to Luther vandross to al green,
839
01:06:41,206 --> 01:06:43,708
have come out of the gospel experience.
840
01:06:43,791 --> 01:06:45,793
J� say let's j�
841
01:06:47,504 --> 01:06:50,840
j� let's stay together j�
842
01:06:52,842 --> 01:06:55,595
j� whether, whetherj�
843
01:06:55,678 --> 01:06:58,640
-j� whether times are j�
-j� good or bad j�
844
01:06:58,723 --> 01:07:00,892
j� happy or sad j�
845
01:07:03,937 --> 01:07:06,523
j� let's stay together j�
846
01:07:06,606 --> 01:07:08,608
somebody way back here now!
847
01:07:08,691 --> 01:07:10,818
J� whether j�
848
01:07:10,902 --> 01:07:15,156
j� whether good or bad j�
849
01:07:15,240 --> 01:07:19,118
j� happy or sad j�
850
01:07:24,374 --> 01:07:26,094
Katy Perry can do it too,
you know.
851
01:07:26,167 --> 01:07:30,213
She often uses
the devices of gospel music.
852
01:07:30,296 --> 01:07:32,757
It's hidden behind a lot of production,
but it's there.
853
01:07:32,840 --> 01:07:37,262
-J� oh, happy day j�
-j� oh, happy day j�
854
01:07:37,345 --> 01:07:41,015
-j� oh, happy day j�
-j� oh, happy day j�
855
01:07:41,099 --> 01:07:44,602
-j� when Jesus washed j�
-j� when Jesus washed j�
856
01:07:44,686 --> 01:07:48,356
-j� when Jesus washed j�
-j� when Jesus washed j�
857
01:07:48,439 --> 01:07:52,527
-j� washed my sins away j�
-j� oh, happy day j�
858
01:07:52,610 --> 01:07:56,698
-j� oh, happy day j�
-j� oh, happy day j�
859
01:07:56,781 --> 01:08:00,493
-j� oh, happy day j�
-j� oh, happy day j�
860
01:08:01,202 --> 01:08:04,455
-j� when he washed j�
-j� when Jesus washed j�
861
01:08:04,539 --> 01:08:08,001
-j� when Jesus washed j�
-j� when Jesus washed j�
862
01:08:08,084 --> 01:08:11,504
-j� oh, when my Jesus washed j�
-j� when Jesus washed j�
863
01:08:11,588 --> 01:08:15,800
-j� he washed my sins away j�
-j� oh, happy day j�
864
01:08:15,883 --> 01:08:19,971
-j� he washed 'em right away, yeah j�
-j� oh, happy day j�
865
01:08:20,054 --> 01:08:23,016
-j� the past 34 years now j�
-j� oh, happy day j�
866
01:08:23,099 --> 01:08:25,059
j� oh, yeah j�
867
01:08:25,143 --> 01:08:27,103
j� oh, happy day j�
868
01:08:27,186 --> 01:08:29,272
j� oh, happy day j�
869
01:08:31,858 --> 01:08:34,736
-j� baby, you're a firework j�
-j� firework j�
870
01:08:34,819 --> 01:08:35,903
can you do this?
871
01:08:36,904 --> 01:08:42,160
When I was 5, the guy that was
preaching at the revivals,
872
01:08:42,243 --> 01:08:45,413
he came up to me out of,
you know, a few thousand people
873
01:08:45,496 --> 01:08:48,458
and said, you know, "you're gonna sing."
874
01:08:48,541 --> 01:08:54,005
J� do you ever feel like a plastic bag
drifting through the wind j�
875
01:08:54,088 --> 01:08:55,923
j� oh, happy day j�
876
01:08:56,007 --> 01:09:01,596
j� do you ever feel, feel so paper-thin
like a house of cards j�
877
01:09:01,679 --> 01:09:03,681
j� oh, happy day j�
878
01:09:03,765 --> 01:09:10,063
j� do you ever feel already buried deep?
Six feet under screams, but no one j�
879
01:09:10,146 --> 01:09:11,606
j� oh, happy day j�
880
01:09:11,689 --> 01:09:14,776
j� do you know that there's
still a chance for you j�
881
01:09:14,859 --> 01:09:19,197
j� 'cause there's a spark in you
you just gotta ignite j�
882
01:09:19,280 --> 01:09:20,156
come on!
883
01:09:20,239 --> 01:09:25,953
J� the light and let it shine j�
884
01:09:26,037 --> 01:09:32,919
j� just own the night
like the fourth of July j�
885
01:09:33,002 --> 01:09:36,047
j� 'cause, baby, you're a firework j�
886
01:09:36,130 --> 01:09:38,216
I started singing in church
when I was 9,
887
01:09:38,299 --> 01:09:41,803
and I loved "oh, happy day,"
and singing gospel music,
888
01:09:41,886 --> 01:09:45,765
and I felt like that foundation
was really great.
889
01:09:46,641 --> 01:09:48,768
J� boom, boom, boom j�
890
01:09:48,851 --> 01:09:52,146
j� even brighter
than the moon, moon, moon j�
891
01:09:52,230 --> 01:09:54,732
j� come on
it's always been inside of you j�
892
01:09:56,442 --> 01:09:59,237
j� and now it's time to let it through
yeah j�
893
01:10:01,114 --> 01:10:04,659
j� 'cause, baby, you're a firework j�
894
01:10:04,742 --> 01:10:08,162
j� come on, let your colors burst j�
895
01:10:08,246 --> 01:10:11,582
j� make 'em go, "oh, oh, oh" j�
896
01:10:11,666 --> 01:10:15,628
j� you're gonna leave 'em all
in awe, awe, awe j�
897
01:10:17,046 --> 01:10:19,298
j� boom, boom, boom j�
898
01:10:19,382 --> 01:10:23,302
j� even brighter
than the moon, moon, moon j�
899
01:10:24,137 --> 01:10:27,014
j� oh, boom, boom, boom j�
900
01:10:27,098 --> 01:10:30,852
j� even brighter
than the moon, moon, moon j�
901
01:10:48,995 --> 01:10:54,459
The cultural exchange is to
find cultures that relate to New Orleans.
902
01:10:55,626 --> 01:10:57,795
These are the roots of the roots.
903
01:11:02,049 --> 01:11:06,512
It's a tradition that we have inherited
from our ancestors.
904
01:11:14,729 --> 01:11:18,649
I have to say there are lots of
afro-descendants here.
905
01:11:18,733 --> 01:11:21,736
This resemblance touches our heart.
906
01:11:21,819 --> 01:11:23,613
We see that we are the same.
907
01:11:23,696 --> 01:11:25,406
It's just the ocean that separates us.
908
01:11:52,809 --> 01:11:55,061
Music unites people.
909
01:12:19,836 --> 01:12:23,548
The festival is traditional,
but when you think of heritage,
910
01:12:23,631 --> 01:12:25,883
heritage isn't just a rearview mirror.
911
01:12:25,967 --> 01:12:28,594
Heritage is looking out
the windshield too.
912
01:12:32,014 --> 01:12:33,975
Are you good? Are you really good?
913
01:12:35,309 --> 01:12:37,186
Are you really good out there?
914
01:12:38,229 --> 01:12:40,690
Then you gotta hop with me.
It's gotta be like...
915
01:12:44,402 --> 01:12:45,403
Where the keys at?
916
01:12:47,738 --> 01:12:48,948
Where the keys at?
917
01:12:50,533 --> 01:12:52,743
Somebody say, "we ready!"
918
01:12:52,827 --> 01:12:54,078
We ready!
919
01:12:55,496 --> 01:12:58,708
-J� all my people up plus the sky is up j�
-j� what's up? J�
920
01:12:58,791 --> 01:13:01,502
j� I'm up, good luck to the ones
that thought I'd give it up j�
921
01:13:01,586 --> 01:13:02,587
j� this my come up j�
922
01:13:02,670 --> 01:13:05,089
j� coming up the stairs
I climb the charts j�
923
01:13:05,172 --> 01:13:09,093
j� billboard's feeling close to home
dazed out on my mommy's porch j�
924
01:13:09,176 --> 01:13:10,845
j� I got a gumdrop and a raindrop j�
925
01:13:10,928 --> 01:13:13,598
j� and I do that cartwheel
like a Ferris wheel j�
926
01:13:13,681 --> 01:13:14,849
j� I'm a spinning top j�
927
01:13:14,932 --> 01:13:18,394
j� my world is the carousel
I look, look at my money... j�
928
01:13:18,477 --> 01:13:20,730
back in the day when
you're talking about New Orleans,
929
01:13:20,813 --> 01:13:23,316
you know, mardi gras, you know,
"show me those breasts,"
930
01:13:23,399 --> 01:13:25,999
and "let's just listen to the jazz,"
and "where's the brass band?"
931
01:13:26,027 --> 01:13:28,237
You know, like as if that's all we were.
932
01:13:28,321 --> 01:13:31,616
I'm a part of the generation
that's always been going on here,
933
01:13:31,699 --> 01:13:33,034
but has been more underground.
934
01:13:33,117 --> 01:13:35,286
I call it the New Orleans now.
935
01:13:35,369 --> 01:13:39,165
That's the spoken word,
the hip-hop artists, the soul artists,
936
01:13:39,248 --> 01:13:41,083
the people at an open mic, freestyling,
937
01:13:41,167 --> 01:13:43,586
underground places that
the tourists don't know about.
938
01:13:43,669 --> 01:13:44,837
You know, I'm from that wave.
939
01:13:44,921 --> 01:13:48,257
J� while the beat goes up like a meter j�
940
01:13:48,341 --> 01:13:51,677
j� got a hummy, go, that's my guzzlerj�
941
01:13:51,761 --> 01:13:55,932
j� look at me, I'm flying, cockpit
girl, I'm really high j�
942
01:13:56,015 --> 01:13:59,393
j� I'm too lit, spaceship
and my new hit j�
943
01:13:59,477 --> 01:14:02,897
j� look, look, look
all my money's in the air j�
944
01:14:02,980 --> 01:14:06,233
j� I throw it up, watch it fall everywhere
look! J�
945
01:14:06,317 --> 01:14:09,195
j� money j�
946
01:14:10,363 --> 01:14:14,825
New Orleans is so special
because we do accept all walks of life,
947
01:14:14,909 --> 01:14:17,078
no matter if you're black,
white, gay, straight.
948
01:14:17,161 --> 01:14:19,622
J� it don't bounce, it don't bounce j�
949
01:14:19,705 --> 01:14:22,124
j� I'm that queen that'll
make you bounce j�
950
01:14:25,628 --> 01:14:26,688
j� that's where I'm from j�
951
01:14:26,712 --> 01:14:28,839
j� big freedia queen diva
make ya getcha getcha j�
952
01:14:28,923 --> 01:14:31,342
j� better walk to the beat
that's where I'm from j�
953
01:14:31,425 --> 01:14:33,886
j� big freedia queen diva
let me see ya j�
954
01:14:33,970 --> 01:14:37,223
freedom of expression and freedom
to do whatever they choose to do
955
01:14:37,306 --> 01:14:40,101
and love whoever they choose
to love and to be themselves.
956
01:14:43,229 --> 01:14:44,397
J� release j�
957
01:14:48,109 --> 01:14:49,652
j� release j�
958
01:14:49,735 --> 01:14:51,946
j� if you lean on me and I lean on you j�
959
01:14:52,029 --> 01:14:54,865
j� we can put our backs together, baby
make a lean-to j�
960
01:14:54,949 --> 01:14:57,159
j� if you lean on me and I lean on you j�
961
01:14:57,243 --> 01:14:59,578
j� we can put our backs together, baby
make a lean-to j�
962
01:14:59,662 --> 01:15:05,251
no one was aghast at the idea of showing
up to a show in curlers and lingerie.
963
01:15:05,334 --> 01:15:06,919
They embraced it immediately.
964
01:15:07,003 --> 01:15:12,091
J� stand by your man, I'ma lean on you
stand by your man, I 'ma lean on you j�
965
01:15:12,174 --> 01:15:14,927
j� they say stand by your man
and I'ma lean on you j�
966
01:15:15,011 --> 01:15:18,222
it makes us who we are
as people and as a city.
967
01:15:18,305 --> 01:15:21,392
All the different people,
we make the flavor of New Orleans.
968
01:15:21,475 --> 01:15:24,145
J� you shine like a starj�
969
01:15:25,229 --> 01:15:26,439
j� you know who you are j�
970
01:15:27,606 --> 01:15:30,192
j� you're everything beautiful j�
971
01:15:30,276 --> 01:15:33,863
I was looking for a place to go to pursue,
you know, music,
972
01:15:33,946 --> 01:15:38,159
and New Orleans just had
this deep soul underbelly
973
01:15:38,242 --> 01:15:41,495
that you don't get
in these other musical cities.
974
01:15:41,579 --> 01:15:43,622
J� show me the one I need the most j�
975
01:15:43,706 --> 01:15:46,375
it's not a music-business city.
It's a music-culture city.
976
01:15:46,459 --> 01:15:49,253
J� wish [knew you when I was young j�
977
01:15:50,880 --> 01:15:53,632
j� we could've got so high j�
978
01:15:53,716 --> 01:15:58,054
you know, and to see two strangers
going, "yeah, this is my song,"
979
01:15:58,137 --> 01:16:00,222
and they're like, "yeah, me too,"
you know,
980
01:16:00,306 --> 01:16:03,642
that's New Orleans, you know,
people coming together over music.
981
01:16:03,726 --> 01:16:05,895
Come on, 'round the world, baby.
Come on.
982
01:16:05,978 --> 01:16:07,688
J� oh-oh, oh-oh j�
983
01:16:07,772 --> 01:16:10,357
j� oh-oh, oh-oh j�
984
01:16:10,441 --> 01:16:12,151
j� oh-oh, oh-oh j�
985
01:16:15,196 --> 01:16:17,823
j� I wish I knew you when I was young j�
986
01:16:20,367 --> 01:16:23,704
New Orleans is nothing
without its people and its artists.
987
01:16:23,788 --> 01:16:25,915
It's just sinking ground.
988
01:16:26,832 --> 01:16:27,875
Literally.
989
01:16:29,752 --> 01:16:32,022
Welcome to an early edition of "daybreak."
990
01:16:32,046 --> 01:16:35,549
We 're watching hurricane Katrina as it
unleashes its wrath on the Gulf coast.
991
01:16:35,633 --> 01:16:37,676
You know, after Katrina,
992
01:16:37,760 --> 01:16:40,805
we almost lost not only our city,
but a way of life.
993
01:16:40,888 --> 01:16:42,973
It is gaining strength again.
994
01:16:43,057 --> 01:16:45,935
It is now stalking the Gulf coast.
This is the nightmare scenario
995
01:16:46,018 --> 01:16:48,163
that many people have been
talking about for so many...
996
01:16:48,187 --> 01:16:51,357
The city of New Orleans
under a mandatory evacuation.
997
01:16:51,440 --> 01:16:54,127
We had reports
of a levee break earlier this morning,
998
01:16:54,151 --> 01:16:56,654
up to nine feet of water
in some areas east of the city.
999
01:16:56,737 --> 01:16:58,155
Major levees broke,
1000
01:16:58,239 --> 01:17:00,074
and slowly,
the city has filled with water.
1001
01:17:00,157 --> 01:17:03,661
The city is going to be essentially
uninhabitable for many days.
1002
01:17:29,353 --> 01:17:32,064
New Orleans is no longer there.
1003
01:17:32,148 --> 01:17:33,732
It's gone.
1004
01:17:33,816 --> 01:17:35,943
It's all undennater. There's no home.
1005
01:17:36,026 --> 01:17:39,113
I didn't know where to go, what to do.
1006
01:17:39,196 --> 01:17:42,575
J� I left home to never come back j�
1007
01:17:43,868 --> 01:17:46,036
j� but I want you j�
1008
01:17:47,371 --> 01:17:50,166
j� but I want you j�
1009
01:17:50,249 --> 01:17:55,129
I remember coming back after the storm
and not recognizing anything.
1010
01:17:55,212 --> 01:17:59,341
From the buildings to the trees,
street signs was gone, everything.
1011
01:17:59,425 --> 01:18:02,219
It was like somebody
had just dropped a bomb.
1012
01:18:05,556 --> 01:18:08,726
We're talking about
an entire city that was devastated.
1013
01:18:08,809 --> 01:18:13,606
So how do you begin to rebuild
from below zero?
1014
01:18:13,689 --> 01:18:17,401
J� you're the one that gave me life j�
1015
01:18:22,281 --> 01:18:23,866
j� by my bondage j�
1016
01:18:23,949 --> 01:18:27,244
I still long to be here.
I still have no place to live here.
1017
01:18:28,204 --> 01:18:29,204
It bothers me.
1018
01:18:34,877 --> 01:18:37,379
J� I got my eyes on you j�
1019
01:18:38,172 --> 01:18:40,174
j� no turning back j�
1020
01:18:44,553 --> 01:18:48,349
j� I'm gonna lay you down j�
1021
01:18:48,432 --> 01:18:50,893
j� I got my eyes on you j�
1022
01:18:50,976 --> 01:18:53,312
That was a defining moment for us
1023
01:18:53,395 --> 01:18:55,940
because none of us knew
how that story ended.
1024
01:18:56,023 --> 01:18:59,818
There was no playbook.
New Orleans had to come back.
1025
01:18:59,902 --> 01:19:03,822
That wasn't a question.
It was, how was it going to come back?
1026
01:19:09,495 --> 01:19:13,624
Katrina.
Boy, it's hard to know where to stop,
1027
01:19:14,416 --> 01:19:19,129
because what it took
to get the festival on...
1028
01:19:20,422 --> 01:19:23,342
I mean, this whole city
was falling off a cliff,
1029
01:19:24,385 --> 01:19:27,471
and trying to find something
1030
01:19:27,554 --> 01:19:32,643
that people could look at or be a part of
as being... having some normalcy to it.
1031
01:19:35,062 --> 01:19:37,481
After Katrina, there were people
in the congress
1032
01:19:37,564 --> 01:19:39,817
that said, "why rebuild that place?
1033
01:19:39,900 --> 01:19:42,403
It's just gonna flood again. Let it go."
1034
01:19:43,070 --> 01:19:45,531
We said, "no, we're not
gonna let this thing go down."
1035
01:19:46,824 --> 01:19:49,910
It was kind of an oxymoron, like,
you can't do it, but you have to do it.
1036
01:19:49,994 --> 01:19:52,746
There was no infrastructure at all.
1037
01:19:57,459 --> 01:19:59,503
Quint Davis literally broke down crying.
1038
01:19:59,586 --> 01:20:03,966
He said, "this is all we have
to keep this city from falling apart.
1039
01:20:04,049 --> 01:20:05,217
We gotta have it.
1040
01:20:05,301 --> 01:20:08,554
No matter who comes or what happens,
we have to put on jazz fest."
1041
01:20:11,140 --> 01:20:14,977
Within a week or two,
it was Jimmy buffett,
1042
01:20:15,060 --> 01:20:17,938
Irma Thomas, Dave Matthews Band,
1043
01:20:18,022 --> 01:20:22,943
Bruce Springsteen, the meters,
Paul Simon that were gonna come play.
1044
01:20:24,236 --> 01:20:27,072
People that love the city
and love the festival showed up,
1045
01:20:27,156 --> 01:20:30,576
and it was the thing
that pointed the arrow to the fact
1046
01:20:30,659 --> 01:20:32,786
that we could get through this
and come back.
1047
01:20:35,122 --> 01:20:37,666
So we're getting ready to open,
1048
01:20:37,750 --> 01:20:42,671
and we get a call from the police
saying we have a traffic problem.
1049
01:20:42,755 --> 01:20:46,258
There's people lined up.
They're cutting off esplanade.
1050
01:20:46,342 --> 01:20:48,635
And we're like, "oh, my god."
1051
01:20:51,805 --> 01:20:55,392
We open the gates,
and thousands of people come in.
1052
01:20:58,771 --> 01:21:02,274
And I can't figure out
how this could happen.
1053
01:21:03,192 --> 01:21:08,113
And I remember being on-stage and saying,
"I don't know, you know, who you are,
1054
01:21:08,197 --> 01:21:10,908
where you came from, and how you got here.
1055
01:21:10,991 --> 01:21:13,786
But, you know, we're here.
Thank god, we're here."
1056
01:21:17,164 --> 01:21:21,668
It was the first indication
that people would come to New Orleans.
1057
01:21:22,294 --> 01:21:25,506
It let the world know
that New Orleans was alive.
1058
01:21:28,675 --> 01:21:30,552
It was like a cleansing, you know.
1059
01:21:30,636 --> 01:21:32,930
You felt like the music
was cleansing the city
1060
01:21:33,013 --> 01:21:35,099
and just showing
everything's gonna be all right.
1061
01:21:36,934 --> 01:21:41,355
Jazz fest was like the crystallization
of bringing the world back to New Orleans
1062
01:21:41,438 --> 01:21:44,400
and New Orleans back to the world.
It's like, "we're back. We're here."
1063
01:21:46,068 --> 01:21:48,070
When we saw jazz fest was happening,
1064
01:21:48,153 --> 01:21:51,031
that was a sign
that we're gonna be all right.
1065
01:21:54,326 --> 01:21:57,788
Bruce Springsteen,
who had never played the festival before,
1066
01:21:57,871 --> 01:22:00,666
had just done this project
"the seeger sessions."
1067
01:22:00,749 --> 01:22:04,002
They were going to
premiere it at the festival.
1068
01:22:04,086 --> 01:22:06,338
So I wanna sing this and dedicate it
1069
01:22:06,422 --> 01:22:09,842
to the people
and the city of New Orleans tonight.
1070
01:22:20,352 --> 01:22:23,564
It was our very first show with that band.
1071
01:22:23,647 --> 01:22:25,399
It was one of the very first times
1072
01:22:25,482 --> 01:22:28,694
I can remember being frightened
before I played.
1073
01:22:28,777 --> 01:22:31,655
J� there's a blood-red circle j�
1074
01:22:31,738 --> 01:22:34,074
j� on the cold, dark ground j�
1075
01:22:34,908 --> 01:22:38,328
j� and the rain is falling down j�
1076
01:22:41,290 --> 01:22:43,625
j� the church door's thrown open j�
1077
01:22:44,293 --> 01:22:46,670
j� I can hear the organ's song j�
1078
01:22:47,588 --> 01:22:50,591
j� but the congregation's gone j�
1079
01:22:53,385 --> 01:22:55,429
j� my city of ruins j�
1080
01:23:00,017 --> 01:23:03,353
j� my city of ruins j�
1081
01:23:06,023 --> 01:23:09,151
"my city of ruins" was something
I originally wrote for asbury
1082
01:23:09,234 --> 01:23:11,195
when it was down and out and at its worst,
1083
01:23:11,278 --> 01:23:15,115
you know, and it just seemed to
sum up a lot of what New Orleans
1084
01:23:15,199 --> 01:23:16,909
was going through at that time.
1085
01:23:16,992 --> 01:23:19,828
J� the boarded-up windows j�
1086
01:23:21,079 --> 01:23:22,956
j� the empty streets j�
1087
01:23:23,999 --> 01:23:29,046
j� while my brother's down on his knees j�
1088
01:23:29,713 --> 01:23:33,008
j� my city of ruins j�
1089
01:23:33,592 --> 01:23:38,013
you were coming into
a city that had great need.
1090
01:23:38,096 --> 01:23:41,683
There was something to push up against,
which is when artists are at their best.
1091
01:23:41,767 --> 01:23:45,062
J� come on, rise up j�
1092
01:23:45,145 --> 01:23:47,606
j� come on, rise up j�
1093
01:23:48,232 --> 01:23:50,984
-j� come on, rise up j�
-j� rise up j�
1094
01:23:51,693 --> 01:23:54,321
-j� come on, rise up j�
-j� rise up j�
1095
01:23:54,947 --> 01:24:00,369
-j� come on, rise up j�
-j� rise up j�
1096
01:24:08,585 --> 01:24:12,965
There are certain moments during the night
when you meet your audience head-on,
1097
01:24:13,048 --> 01:24:16,635
and that's when the healing begins.
1098
01:24:26,019 --> 01:24:29,940
There's a part
in "city in ruins" where they...
1099
01:24:32,943 --> 01:24:34,361
Where it is... where he says,
1100
01:24:34,444 --> 01:24:38,240
"with these hands, with these hands,
now we'll rebuild."
1101
01:24:38,323 --> 01:24:41,910
J� now, with these hands j�
1102
01:24:45,080 --> 01:24:47,541
j� with these hands j�
1103
01:24:48,417 --> 01:24:53,630
j� with these hands I pray, lord
with these hands j�
1104
01:24:53,714 --> 01:24:58,093
So you have, you know,
100,000 hands in the air,
1105
01:24:58,176 --> 01:25:00,304
100,000 people crying.
1106
01:25:00,387 --> 01:25:04,516
J� and I pray to give me hope, lord j�
1107
01:25:05,225 --> 01:25:07,545
I mean, this is some of
the most devastated people,
1108
01:25:07,603 --> 01:25:09,062
that really had nothing.
1109
01:25:09,146 --> 01:25:13,317
And Bruce, in his power,
was ministering to them.
1110
01:25:13,400 --> 01:25:18,864
J� lord, ipray j�
1111
01:25:20,032 --> 01:25:25,203
j� yeah, I pray j�
1112
01:25:26,246 --> 01:25:31,335
j� oh, iprayj�
1113
01:25:32,461 --> 01:25:37,215
j� oh, yeah, lpray j�
1114
01:25:38,008 --> 01:25:40,761
By the time we hit
"city of ruins" at the end of the night,
1115
01:25:40,844 --> 01:25:43,889
something had happened,
and the crowd just sort of melted into it,
1116
01:25:43,972 --> 01:25:48,101
and it was one of the most beautiful
concert experiences I've ever had.
1117
01:25:48,935 --> 01:25:53,982
J� amazing grace j�
1118
01:25:55,192 --> 01:26:00,781
j� how sweet the sound j�
1119
01:26:01,698 --> 01:26:05,661
j� that saved a wretch j�
1120
01:26:10,916 --> 01:26:13,126
J�ioncej�
1121
01:26:13,210 --> 01:26:15,879
j� I once was lost j�
1122
01:26:19,174 --> 01:26:22,302
m found j�
1123
01:26:24,554 --> 01:26:26,139
j� oh, but now j�
1124
01:26:26,932 --> 01:26:30,352
j�iseej�
1125
01:26:33,397 --> 01:26:38,860
j� through many dangers j�
1126
01:26:38,944 --> 01:26:42,906
j� tolls and snares j�
1127
01:26:43,657 --> 01:26:50,122
j� I have, [have already, already come j�
1128
01:26:53,667 --> 01:26:55,335
j� 'twas grace j�
1129
01:26:55,419 --> 01:27:00,674
j� that brought me safe j�
1130
01:27:01,383 --> 01:27:03,552
j� this far j�
1131
01:27:03,635 --> 01:27:08,265
j� and grace shall lead me j�
1132
01:27:08,348 --> 01:27:12,310
j� home j�
1133
01:27:37,461 --> 01:27:39,796
Music has a way
of bringing us together.
1134
01:27:39,880 --> 01:27:41,798
Here in New Orleans, that's just so true.
1135
01:27:41,882 --> 01:27:45,218
J� when the
saints go marching in j�
1136
01:27:46,344 --> 01:27:50,348
j� oh, how I want to be in that numberj�
1137
01:27:51,099 --> 01:27:54,478
j� when the saints go marching in j�
1138
01:27:55,604 --> 01:27:59,608
j� oh, when the saints go marching in j�
1139
01:27:59,691 --> 01:28:03,987
j� oh, when the saints go marching in j�
1140
01:28:04,070 --> 01:28:06,072
We're closing the book on 50 years.
1141
01:28:06,156 --> 01:28:08,742
You know, over 50 years,
a lot of things have happened.
1142
01:28:23,298 --> 01:28:27,594
Life's to be enjoyed, not endured,
and there's a lot of that in New Orleans.
1143
01:28:53,328 --> 01:28:57,833
It's just a great festival experience
that can't be matched.
1144
01:28:57,916 --> 01:28:59,167
Jazz fest!
1145
01:29:00,043 --> 01:29:02,087
We say hey, hey!
1146
01:29:04,589 --> 01:29:05,589
Come on!
1147
01:29:06,925 --> 01:29:09,719
Everybody jump! Jump, jump! Come on!
1148
01:29:09,803 --> 01:29:11,805
You're not gonna get it
unless you get here.
1149
01:29:11,888 --> 01:29:13,348
You just gotta walk in, you know?
1150
01:29:13,431 --> 01:29:15,183
J� oh, yeah j�
1151
01:29:17,978 --> 01:29:19,938
You can't help but get caught up in it.
1152
01:29:19,980 --> 01:29:21,773
Once you walk through those gates,
1153
01:29:21,857 --> 01:29:23,543
you kinda forget about the rest
of the world.
1154
01:29:23,567 --> 01:29:27,028
All right, take me up there! Take me up!
Here we go!
1155
01:29:32,117 --> 01:29:33,201
Everybody, come on!
1156
01:29:38,123 --> 01:29:39,749
I need to see all your hands!
1157
01:29:40,876 --> 01:29:41,960
Come on!
1158
01:29:49,009 --> 01:29:50,529
Sleep is the cousin of death.
1159
01:29:52,345 --> 01:29:55,307
That's jazz fest, you know.
You can sleep when you're dead.
1160
01:30:04,149 --> 01:30:05,942
This can only happen in New Orleans.
1161
01:30:08,403 --> 01:30:09,779
That's the magic of the festival.
1162
01:30:09,863 --> 01:30:11,615
Happy 50th jazz fest!
1163
01:30:12,741 --> 01:30:15,535
We gotta keep it going another 50 years!
1164
01:30:16,786 --> 01:30:18,496
Right here in New Orleans!
1165
01:30:18,580 --> 01:30:23,084
Thank you! Don't forget, we love you!
1166
01:31:18,348 --> 01:31:22,352
J� I saw her today at the reception j�
1167
01:31:23,937 --> 01:31:28,149
j� a glass of wine in her hand j�
1168
01:31:30,068 --> 01:31:34,698
j� I knew she could make the connection j�
1169
01:31:35,281 --> 01:31:40,245
j� at her feet was her footloose man j�
1170
01:31:40,328 --> 01:31:41,663
let's do it!
1171
01:31:41,746 --> 01:31:45,709
J� you can't always get what you want j�
1172
01:31:47,711 --> 01:31:51,506
j� you can't always get what you want j�
1173
01:31:53,717 --> 01:31:57,512
j� you can't always get what you want j�
1174
01:31:59,139 --> 01:32:01,391
j� but if you try sometime j�
1175
01:32:02,809 --> 01:32:04,644
j� just might find j�
1176
01:32:04,728 --> 01:32:06,855
j� you get what you need j�
1177
01:32:16,948 --> 01:32:21,202
J� I saw her today at the reception j�
1178

j� you get what you need j�
1188
01:33:14,881 --> 01:33:19,052
j� I went down to the demonstration j�
1189
01:33:20,637 --> 01:33:24,516
j� to get my fair share of abuse j�
1190
01:33:26,267 --> 01:33:31,022
j� singing
"we're gonna vent our frustration j�
1191
01:33:31,106 --> 01:33:36,694
j� if we don't
we 're gonna blow a 50-amp fuse" j�
1192
01:33:37,904 --> 01:33:41,908
j� you can't always get what you want j�
