Jazz Fest 2009: Washboard Chaz


Chaz Leary is this performers name. He has a unique musical instrument that features a rubbing board and tin cans. I'd never experienced his performance before. He is very good and this is a unique form of music that he has mastered. He performs regularly with The Tin Men and the New Orleans Jazz Vipers. There is a neighborhood festival located in the Bywater District of New Orleans. The festival is scheduled on Monday and Tuesday between the festival weekends. It is a wonderful diversion for festival fans that spend a week in the city with nothing to occupy their time on those days. This is a wonderful addition to a music packed week in New Orleans. The festival is named Chaz Fest in honor of the beloved Chaz Leary.
