Jazz Fest 2019

   Family Portrait: Jazz Fest at 50By Scott Guion Note: Rosa Lee Hawkins, an original member of the Dixie Cups portrayed in this print, passed away in 2022. The ReMarque, C-Marque & Proof editions are signed by her. We typically use this space to describe the Jazz Fest Poster subject. But recounting the career of everyone in the rich tapestry of America’s most enduring indigenous art form - showcased for fifty years by the world’s greatest festival - would require a book. We’ll let Scott Guion’s brilliant family portrait speak for itself and just list those portrayed in his iconic assemblage, left to right, and note their highlights. Those previously celebrated on Jazz Fest & Congo Square posters include links to their posters and bios. Those appearing for the first time on this poster are marked with an asterisk (*). As with all family portraits, some worthies are regrettably absent. Left top: Philip Frazier & Kermit Ruffins (ReBirth Brass Band, tuba & trumpet: CS07
