One wonders what heritage longtime Jazz Fest organizer Quint Davis is championing when you get to the festival’s homepage and have to cycle through Bon Jovi, Dave Matthews Band, James Taylor and others before landing on an image of the Neville Brothers. Splitting hairs about the name of the festival may be a folly of semantics, for this thing is encyclopedic in scope and much bigger than the intentions that bore it in 1970. And this is a great thing because Neil Young is in the second Sunday lineup. Whether you’re a hipster, a funk daddy or one of the grown folks, there is plenty else to witness on the fairgrounds this weekend and next, so get ready. Also this weekend, Festival International is set to rock Lafayette. Click here for 225’s guide to Jazz Fest. Click here for the guide to Festival International in Lafayette.
