UPDATE (12/11): Irma Thomas and Marcia Ball were just added to the list. I'll keep adding names as the info/rumors roll in.
It's looking like saxophone great Joe Lovano, bass god Stanley Clarke, world music star Baaba Maal, and enduring Southern jam-rockers the Allman Brothers will play next year's Jazz and Heritage Festival in New Orleans, slated for April 23 through May 2.
That's in addition to all the great New Orleans talent -- so far, including the Radiators, Galactic, Paul Sanchez, the subdudes, Steve Riley, and Russell Batiste.
Those are among the facts and rumors I've been seeing online, at Pollstar and on the Jazz Fest's chat board.
The official announcement is coming very soon - UPDATE: probably sometimes between now and Tuesday. Meanwhile, here's a very tentative day-by-day schedule.
The Allmans reportedly will play "in April," which could mean first weekend OR second weekend.
