This year's artists were as international as Sting and Jimmy Cliff and as local as Alvin Batiste and the Zydeco Newbreeds.

A crew of sonicnet.com writers and photographers was in New Orleans to provide daily coverage of this year's Jazz & Heritage Festival, which began April 28 and concluded May 7. Our staff was on the Fair Grounds, in the clubs and on the streets to capture what was unique about one of the world's great musical and cultural extravaganzas.
