Death Cab for Cutie aside, more jazz/jam/funk (or in the case of Black Keys, blues/jam/funk). There was a time when I looked forward to Jazz Fest because of the artists who came to New Orleans’ clubs during that time – often a broad selection. Now everybody focuses on jam/jazz/funk, and there’s little for you if you don’t want that.
