PHOTOS: Much Anticipated Greenwich Town Party New Orleans Superjam Does Not Disappoint

This year the Greenwich Town Party had a unique musical twist: a once-in-a-lifetime “Preservation Hall Super Jam,” collaboration of the best of New Orleans music focusing on jazz. The morning kicked off with children’s activities and local non-profits raising awareness for their activities.

The New Orleans Super Jam featured Preservation Hall Jazz Band, Wyclef Jean, Troy “Trombone Shorty” Andrews, Ivan Neville, Irma Thomas, Cyril Neville, George Porter, Jr., Eric Krasno, Raymond Weber, Tony Hall, Celisse and Tarriona “Tank” Ball.

Leading up to the Super Jam on the Main Stage were The Revivalists, Mavis Staples and The Dirty Dozen Brass Band, performers who are steeped in the musical traditions of New Orleans.

Earlier in the week the entire town was invited to a free parade down Greenwich Avenue and party with live music in Havemeyer Field. Those events echoed Saturdays jazz theme.
