" ... fifty musical tracks consisting of live Jazz Fest recordings taken from a variety of sources, featuring many of the city's favorite musicians ... With so much material to choose from, the final product admirably encapsulates the original spirit of the Jazz Fest celebration as well as the musical and cultural traits that make New Orleans such a unique part of our nation's tapestry ... Longtime fans of Jazz Fest will need little encouragement to dive into this package and relive some of the magical memories from bygone fests. For those who have never had a Jazz Fest experience, this package will quickly allow you to vicariously enjoy one of the premier annual musical events on the planet. But be careful, it can be very, very addicting!".

" ... imagine the daunting task of mining five decades of musical gold and choosing which live recordings to enshrine on the five discs in the Smithsonian Folkways box set that commemorates the festival's 50th anniversary ... Against all odds, the five producers of this crash course in the immersive Jazz Fest experience managed to pull it off ... Technical problems forced the omission of some early performances - if theywere recorded at all - by iconic artists, like the late James Booker, while licensing issues kept other tracks on ice. That still left a wealth of material, most of it previously unreleased, for Jazz Fest lovers to feast on ... Not all 50 tracks collected here are essential listening, and veteran festers might quibble about some of the work that's either included or omitted. But taken as a whole, this handsomely packaged set, full of photos and archival notes, will help devotees recapture the magic of Jazz Fest until next year rolls around".

"A sumptuously illustrated five-CD box set and coffee table book - each of its 53 tracks has a single page devoted to it - it includes written historical, cultural, and contextual commentary ... The tracklist isn't sequenced chronologically, but in a manner to replicate what a day at the festival might sound like ... A lavish love letter to New Orleans and Louisiana music and culture, and to the unforgettable experience of seeing it performed live in context, Jazz Fest is an important and necessary collection - and the next best thing to being there".
