This Jazz Fest Tuesday join Longue Vue in welcoming Fred Wesley and his funky family and friends to celebrate the healing power of the whole food, plant-based lifestyle. The hearty menu will feature red beans and rice, fresh veggies, and desserts -- all fully compliant with an evidence-based diet with the power to reverse obesity, heart disease, and diabetes. The program will feature testimonials and tips for using the power of plants to get off medications and alleviate suffering. Fred, the legendary JBs bandleader, was sick and facing forced retirement before his new lifestyle helped him drop 70 pounds, regain his health, and reignite his touring schedule, which this year includes Jazz Fest on Thursday, April 30. 

Children eat free and can participate in a hands-on food prep activity with Natalie Guess, who will read from her children's book "The Biggest, The Oldest, The Strongest ... All Eat Plants." She also is donating copies of the book for each child participant to take home.
