My first visit to the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival (a.k.a. "Jazzfest") was sort of a happy accident. In 1988, I was a young 20-something Grateful Dead tourhead, and I heard rumors that Little Feat was going to play their first show since the death of Lowell George a decade earlier. The allure was heightened by the fact that the reformed band would play on a riverboat floating on the Mississippi in New Orleans.

The festival takes place June 14-15, 2024, in the rolling hills of Swanzey, NH.

Cool Cool Cool is thrilled to announce the release of their debut single, "Never Noticed," a track that promises to redefine the funk/house landscape. Drenched in soulful vocals, powerful horn lines, and an unstoppable groove, this single is a harmonic convergence of past and future. Its foundation lies in the profound realization of the band's own interconnectedness, a theme they hope will resonate deeply with audiences, prompting reflection and celebration in equal measure.
