By the time Centeroo opened on Thursday afternoon at the Bonnaroo Music Festival, June 15th, the festivities, and live music had been happening in the campground for nearly two days.

But the four other main stages and some smaller ones offer a diverse lineup of mostly new music lasting until near dawn.

The New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival stands as a radiant beacon of America's diverse musical scene. This multifaceted gathering represents an immersive journey across the musical map of America and beyond. Describing its innumerable treasures can prove daunting, as there is a veritable banquet of sound that is impossible to fully consume, let alone encapsulate in a single piece.

First, let’s get through the obvious:
