The deal is that any bands can play, but they have to re-chart their music into jazz form. So, it's kind of cool. Like that Christmas Day recording of "X-Mas Curtain".
I think the Drive-By Truckers is gonna be great! I mean, really, their music is very jazzy in the first place...
(more lies. not sure what's wrong with me and my big fat lying styles today.)
Haha man you're full of shit. The bands play like they normally do. Its just a festival. Sure some bands might get captured in the jazz theme and play a jazz song, but its just like any other show. The headliners arent very jazzy artists but all the local stuff is thick jazz.
