Better Than Ezra, dozens more New Orleans-area bands rock JazzFest

Hometown rockers Better Than Ezra performed under the blazing sun on Day #1 of the second weekend at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival on Thursday, May 1, 2025.

After playing through a set of their hits, the band invited a trio of local high school students on stage, who each delivered solos with their brass instruments, a perfect compliment to the jazz-inspired festivities.
