On the Cover: The Doctor Is In - Official Jazz Fest Poster
James Michalopoulos, whose kinetic New Orleans architectural
paintings are collected worldwide, applies his masterv to a defini-
tive portrait of the Crescent City's premier practitioner of all
things mystical and musical; Mac Rebennack, a.k.a. Dt. John, in
this 24th annual New Orleans Jazz Fest poster. These silk-
screened collectibles usually sell out before the Festival's end.
Early editions sell for up to 300 times their original cost.

IQth Anniversary Congo Square Poster
km Diagne, artist of the sold-out 1995 Congo Square poster,
returns with a striking evocation of Congo Square's roots. Tlie
work, entitled "Celebration," is a panorama as colorful as
Joseph's coat, rendered using Aziz' native West African art form
of tUlessolse—reverse painting on glass. This is a timeless and
beautiful silk-screen print—fluid, rich and exciting.
© Aziz Disgne & art4naw inc.
Both posters, plus the fabulous Red Beans & Rice HowAhYa'"
Jim shirt and the new PosterTile ceramic tiles depicting the entire
Jazz Festival Poster series, are sold at the Fair Grounds during
the Festival or may be ordered from art4now, l-888-art4nnw;

"he longevity of a
festival creates its
own aura. The
New Orleans Jazz &
Heritage Festival
began its life in 1970,
28 years ago. Many of J
the people who came
in those early days
are no longer with
us. That is always
sad, but there's a
joyous side to a festival that has such lasting
appeal. Young people who grew to love the Festival in
its early days may now be parents of children who
could be up to 30 years old. These children have
become fans of the unique exposition of New Orleans
and Louisiana culture that is the Jazz 5. Heritage
Festival, and now come to the Festival with their par-
ents, even if they live in different parts of America and
the world. The theme of this year's Festival is "Family
BRYANT
iiiue /965
Reunion," and that's literally what happens: families
come together for joyous reunions and at the same

Heritage Festival. Gospel choirs have come
out of the sanctuaries of the churcli and
have been increasingly visible on concert
stages at local events and venues, as well
as European festivals, due to the diligent
work of vocalist and gospel impresario
Sherman Washington, wlio has been an
active proponent of gospel music in this
area for more than 50 years.
The legacy of gospel music in New
Orleans is a long one, marked by the great
Mahalia Jackson, whose rise to international
tame compares with that of another
musically gifted native New Orleanian, Louis
Armstrong. Recently, the world-renowned Zion
Harmonizers, led by Washington, celebrated
59 years of spiritual singing with an afternoon
of gospel performances and a cameo
appearance by friends and colleagues, tlie

official '98 Poster by Midnalopoulos
James Michalopoulos, w h o s e kinetic New Orleans architectural
paintings are collected world-wide, applies his mastery to a definitive
portrait of the Crescent City's premier practitioner of all things mystical
and musical: Mac Rebennack, a.k.a. Dr John. This moonlit French
Quarter streetscape captures the Night Tripper's ethereal presence in an
impressionist silk-screen print that is a perfect match of artist to subject.
The unsigned collectible is printed on archival vellum paper The
Artist-Signed and Remarque editions are o n m u s e u m standard 100%
cotton rag paper. If history is any guide, all editions will sell out before
the Festival is over. A n extraordinary "remarque" edition of 750 prints
bears a unique hand drawing by both artist and subject in its oversized
lower margin, and is dually signed. It is a significant w o r k and a unique
opportunity to acquire an original Michalopoulos drawing at an extremely
favorable price.
Due to the anticipated d e m a n d for this edition, only one remarque
may be ordered per household. All prints are subject to prior sale.
Editions: 10,000 Numbered, 18" x 36" ($49); 3,000 Artist Signed & num-
bered, 19" x 38" ($195); 750 Remarqued, Artist & Subject Signed &
Numbered with unique pencil drawings by Artist & Subject in oversized
lower margin. 20" x 40" ($495).

guitarist has embraced styles from stinging blues to swing countrx',
playing various instri.iments, ranging from fiddle to harmonica. His
latest CD, Gate Swings, is an liomage to big-band jazz and a liiglv
water mark in this musician's phenomenal career.
An enduring performer of New Orleans R&B, Larry Hamilton is a

LOUISIANA FOCKDFE
Representatives from cul-
tural communities across the
stats demonstrate ancestral
native crafts and share their
indigenous stories and songs.
An invitation to appear In the
Louisiana Folklife area is our
way of acknowledging and
honoring these living treas-
ures who lielp to keep alive
the spirit of Louisiana.
Visit with master crafts-
people who illustrate their
skills in creating fine bead-
vMrk, t^ardi Gras costumes,
and musical instruments,
which are so much a part of
our festive and ceremonial
traditions. Occupational
craftsmen share their tecli-
niques for boat-building, trap-
ping and fishing, and skilled
mechanics demonstrate archi-
tectural trades such as slate
roofing and carpentry.
Domestic craftspeople
share tlieir secrets for the per-
fect Creole fM (ground sas-
safras leaves), demonstrate
the fine needlework of
Croatian embroidery and tlie
intricate patterns of Native
American basketry. Guests can
hear tales of life in Louisiana's
bayous and prairies, as vxll
as in urban New Orleans.
FOLK DEMONSTRATION
STAGE
This area is home to one
of tlie most dynamic facets of
the Louisiana Folklife area,
the folklorist-conducted inter-
views of Louisiana tradition-
bearers. This stage presents
informal, often spontaneous
sessions that allow for inter-
action between demonstra-
tors, presenters and festival-
goers. Demonstrators have
tlie space to brandish whips,
throw nets, sing and dance.
The sessions are pro-
grammed at tlie beginning of
each day and often incorpo-
rate special guests. Special
events on this stage include
an exiiibition of rodeo clown
skits and bull-roping tech-
niques, and demonstration of
oyster-dredging and culling.

 LANDMARK CREATIONS

The republic of Panama is often called tlie

crossroads of the world. Providing a land-bridge
between Central and South America and a water-
way between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, the
istlimus of Panama has been a focal point for tlie
mixing of peoples from diverse cultures.
Elements from Native American, European,
African and Caribbean cultures have combined to
create a rich cultural heritage, similar to that
found here in New Orleans. Panama's Congo
societies can trace their ancestry to tlie 1500s,
when, to escape Spanish enslavement, Africans
established fortified colonies. They found a place
where many groups of Native Americans had
already gone to escape Spanish domination, cre-
ating early Cimarron (maroon) communities.
Afro-Caribbean migration later introduced TANGIBLE MEMORIES
the nuances of creolized music to an already
complex landscape of sounds and beats that EuROP&AN GLASS ORNAMENTS
today includes calypso, soca and reggae. HAND-BLOWN. HAND-PAINTED. FROM $28.
Panama's cumbia music meshes African
rhythms, the French accordion, and the melodic To ORDER CALL TOLL FREE
harmonies of botli Amerindian and Spanish music.
The International Pavilion exhibit inside the 888-LNDMRKS (563-6757)
Grandstand features eight artisans from
Panama, a video, and drumming and dance
demonstrations. The artisans include: Adriana
Gonzalez, who makes molas, the intricate
reverse appliquS cloth incorporated into the
native dress of the Kuna women; Lilia Moreno, a
native of the Gnobe Bugle indigenous group,
demonstrates the making of elaborate beaded
necklaces and cMcaras, handbags made of the
natural cabuya fiber; Gladys V. de Montenegro,
an expert embroiderer, makes tablecloths and
pnlleras, the ruffled dresses from the Spanisli
colonial period still worn today; Daniel Murillo
creates pottery; Tony Membora displays his
expert wood-carving skills from the Darien
region; Fernando S. Avila demonstrates the
process of gourd engraving and how to make
"Panama hats"; Cheryl Talley de Obediente dis-
plays her tapestry designs; and Dimas Soriano
