Neville Brothers: The Mississippi Mafia
Andy Gill, Q, August 1990
THE NEW ORLEANS Jazz & Heritage Festival makes most British music festivals, even the Readings and Glastonburys, look a bit sick by comparison. It's not so much the sheer size of the event although the racetrack on which it takes place is, admittedly, enormous as the range and scope of the music on offer.
