Quint Davis, Producer/Director of the Festival, said, “To the whole world we say, ‘Welcome to the 2015 New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival presented by Shell.’ With today’s announcement of the daily list of performers, we proclaim once again that New Orleans is the Soul of American culture, and the Festival that carries its name is the Soul of New Orleans. This year’s listing of over 500 bands marks an unprecedented musical gathering, even by Jazz Fest standards. Happiest of Fests to everyone; away we go!”
The mission of the Festival is to annually celebrate the unique culture and heritage of New Orleans and Louisiana alongside nationally and internationally renowned guest artists.  Jazz Fest takes place at the Fair Grounds Race Course and will once again feature twelve stages of music in such varied genres as rock, pop, R&B, gospel, blues, traditional and contemporary jazz, Cajun, zydeco and much more.  The Festival will present more than 500 bands during the seven-day event with over eighty percent of the performers hailing from the city and region.
Advanced single-day tickets for Jazz Fest are $58. The gate price ticket will be $70.  Children’s tickets (ages 2 - 10) are still only $5 and are available at the gate only.  Single-day tickets to Jazz Fest are on sale by specific weekend, with each ticket valid for a single day’s attendance.

Economic Development initiatives include the Community Partnership Grants, the Sync Up entertainment industry conference and new programs such as the Catapult Fund and Brass Tacks.

The Foundation also owns radio station WWOZ 90.7-FM and the Jazz & Heritage Archive. In December 2014, the Foundation opened a new building, the George and Joyce Wein Jazz & Heritage Center – an education and community facility named for Jazz Fest founder George Wein and his late wife Joyce.
The much-beloved Jazz & Heritage Foundation Gala will be held on Thursday, April 23, 2015.  The Gala is an evening of music, food and fun that directly supports the Don Jamison Heritage School of Music, a free music instruction program that reaches more than 85 students each week. This year’s Gala will feature George Benson, Irvin Mayfield and the Jazz Playhouse Revue as well as the Heritage School of Music.  The Gala always sells out, so please visit http://www.jazzandheritage.org or call 504-558-6107 to get tickets or inquire about sponsorship opportunities.
Jazz Fest will celebrate the 40th anniversary of the New Orleans Center For Creative Arts (NOCCA) at this year’s event. The Festival will feature the NOCCA Pavilion, a large tent located at the heart of the Fair Grounds, showcasing the next generation of local artists.   Presentations from NOCCA students will include multidisciplinary live shows on the NOCCA Stage inside the Pavilion and the painting of a 20’ mural in front of the tent. Photo and multimedia exhibits will complete the presentation.
