In New Orleans, music is part of the culture. You're raised with it, from the cradle to the grave, and all in-between.

Ain't no place like New Orleans. It's one of kind.

It's one of the greatest festivals in the world. New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Fest is the best all-around... It's an honor to be closing it.

New Orleans. Born and raised. I lived there until I was 19.

I worked with the Neville Brothers for 40-some years on the highway, and up and down since I can remember - funk from New Orleans.

Man, I was scared. I didn't know what to think. All of a sudden, I got a record climbing the charts, and I'm out in the streets. You know, workin' on the docks. And the first week, it sold something like 40,000 in New Orleans.
