The New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival is an annual celebration of
the music and culture of New Orleans and Louisiana. Taking place April
22nd – May 1st, 2016, the festival celebrates the indigenous music and
culture of New Orleans and Louisiana, so the music encompasses every
style associated with the city and the state: blues, R&B, gospel
music, Cajun music, zydeco, Afro-Caribbean, folk music, Latin, rock, rap
music, country music, bluegrass, and everything in between. And of
course there is lots of jazz, both contemporary and traditional
It was about halfway through the closing show at the New Orleans Jazz Fest Gentilly
Stage on Saturday (April 23). Master musician and songwriter Van
Morrison asked his guitarist to "give me a G." He modulated his voice to
match the chord then launched into a jaunty version of "Jambalaya." Who
knows, the Hank Williams tune may be a regular part of Morrison's
repertoire, but the Bayou State crowd accepted it as a tailor-made gift,
cheering and bobbing to the first few bars.

The ability of Morrison and his impeccable five-piece ensemble to
incorporate a loping, country classic seamlessly into the jazzy, R&B
flow of their set is a tribute to the team's flexibility. Flexibility
is key, because, stylistically speaking, there are several Van
Morrison's to accommodate. There's the pop radio Van Morrison of "Brown
Eyed Girl," the Christian mystic Van Morrison, the romantic balladeer,
the Ray Charles devotee, and the sultry jazz instrumentalist. All of
whom shared the stage Saturday.

Despite the gorgeous weather, the notoriously deadpan Morrison
appeared, as is his custom, dressed for summer in San Francisco, with a
suit jacket, felt fedora, and ascot. He never frowned, nor did he crack a
smile. Except, perhaps, once. As the perfectionistic Northern Irish
knight began singing the comically bawdy lyrics to "Don't You Feel My
Leg," he may have, just may have, guffawed with laughter.
As the last notes of the closing jam faded away, an audience member quietly opined: "Fabulous, fabulous, fabulous."
