\n<\/strong>N’awlins jazz has a sound all its own, but the lineup at this cultural celebration is as diverse as the ingredients in a pot of jambalaya. This year’s event takes place April 22 to May 1, and the performers\u00a0range from\u00a0Trombone Shorty to Stevie Wonder to the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Latin pop star Carlos Vives. And the\u00a0food<\/a>\u00a0is just as show-stopping. Among this year’s offerings are Cajun duck po’boys, alligator pie and praline-stuffed beignets\u2014proof that jazz musicians aren’t the only ones who improvise.\u00a0nojazzfest.com<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
