This Festival - the one against which all others are measured - stands alone in ways that words cannot do justice. Only art is capable of transcending experience beyond imagining, as Jazz Fest itself does. Art alone can convey the Festival’s heart and soul; the diverse musical talent it fosters and showcases and the rich cultural tapestry it celebrates. James Michalopoulos puts Tank at the heart of the Festival's soul.
THE SUBJECT
Tarriona "Tank" Ball and the band, Tank and the Bangas, anchors James’ panoptic panorama. The band’s eclectic blend of genres geared to the power of Tank’s expressive vocalizations embodies the fresh musical gumbo that New Orleans serves up. Their groove is spiced with soul, R&B, funk, hip-hop, jazz and rock seasoned with electronica to bring out the flavor of Tank’s poetic raps; refined, intricate and oh-so-tasty. Sonic foodies have viewed their 2017 break-out NPR Tiny Desk concert - a mere 6 weeks before they captivated tens of thousands at Jazz Fest with their infectious joy - 14 million times and counting. A nourishing banquet, locally sourced and exported with pride.
