Anthony Joseph & The Spasm Band

One of my top favorites at the festival.

Official Jazz Fest Entry
"... he brews up a magical potion blending funk, soul, calypso, Afrobeat and spoken word. Accompanied by The Spasm Band and bringing in a new album produced by Meshell Ndegeocello, he brings us a concert as danceable as it is listenable."
