Savannah Buffett hosts a special "Countdown" segment -"Last Night with Savannah Buffett" - that captures the unprecedented sights and sounds of New Orleans. Tune in as Buffett travels the city, sampling local cuisine, attending after-hours events and performances, and conducting exclusive artist interviews. Acclaimed R&B/Soul singer-songwriter Eric Lindell will join Buffett at various stops on her quest, including famed New Orleans hotspot One Eyed Jack's, and the iconic Margaritaville, which Buffett considers to be a second home.

"Jazz Fest is more than a festival; it's a cultural celebration," said Evan Haiman, AXS TV's vice president, music production & programming. "We have carefully constructed content that reflects this, putting a focus not just on the music, but on the elements that are vital to the spirit of New Orleans. Like the music it honors, Jazz Fest is free-form and full of surprises--you never know who is going to join the featured artists on stage for a once-in-a-lifetime performance.
