2012 Brass Pass Features

• Brass Passes are good for admission to Jazz Fest - any day, every day

• Brass Passes are fully transferable. A different person can use the pass each day of the Fest
• Brass Passes grant you access to tables & chairs, shade, fruit, iced coffee, misters and separate bathrooms in the WWOZ VIP Tent. Plus you're likely to meet other 'OZ fans, show hosts and musicians in this cool oasis as well
• Your Brass Pass purchase comes with a full year's WWOZ membership and a portion of the proceeds go directly to the station so we can keep bringing the music and culture of New Orleans to the Universe

some JAZZ FEST downloads for under a buck

So it's just about time for the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival (JazzFest) and the Frenzy of the Fest is growing in a lot of my friends.

Emails are flying, dinners are being planned, concerts and meet ups are synching. Some folks, waking up to temperatures in the 20s, have to remember the Louisiana heat and dig out their shorts and flip flops. The Fever is hitting and folks are getting ready for the Fair Grounds!

Even those who can't get to New Orleans seem to check in the music sites and listen to 'OZ a bit more and check New Orleans blogs for the latest tidbits.

If you happen to be craving more Louisiana music, in addition to your CDs, WWOZ, live shows, and other sources, here are a bunch of 99¢ MP3's to download!
