Bon Jovi in New Orleans

and bluegrass is related to country....................

Is even one of the other artists performing a jazz artist?

I doubt we have much to worry about TBH

Wow, that was several months before the release date. I knew they performed HAND before, even in 2004, but to see "Who Says" here is quite a surprise. Maybe I just forgot about it. Now I remember that here had been some talk about this song before the release.

But why did they only perform such a short set? Were there other bands on the bill?

It may not be a household name but Wynton Marsalis is The Shit!!! One of the greatest living trumpet players with phenomenal chops and a range of classical to jazz with respect by the greats in both.
His versatility is akin to being able to credibly sing both Zepplin tunes and Crash Test Dummies songs in a concert.
For something recent and accesible check his duet with Colbert on the Colbert report.

There seem to be a ton of artists on that bill I wonder who headlines different nights, I would love to see mopre than a dozen of thoses mentioned.

If Bon Jovi were to do a jazz album, it'd be f***ing amazing IMO! I love jazz!

It'd be funny but i'd hate to go a concert and see them do jazz

If Bon Jovi were to do a jazz album it would probably mean we'd get some proper solos from Richie.

Don't worry people.
Bon Jovi won't turn to jazz music

(Hope not)

My friends and I talked it over and decided to not go since it's just the Jazz Fest. We'd brave a trip into New Orleans if they were playing at an arena or stadium, but none of us are brave enough to take on Jazz Fest. LOL
