The Foundation has secured access to an archive of thousands of digitally preserved live recordings captured over 20 years at the annual New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival. We support the continued efforts to record and preserve more live concerts at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival as well as other local and regional Louisiana music festivals, shows and events.

Our support for recording and preserving live Louisiana music has directly contributed economically to over 600 performing bands and musicians. By recording and promoting what would otherwise have been unknown musical performances the artists now receive sales and merchandising income from these recordings.

The Foundation utilizes its archive of current and future recordings to promote and expand the public’s appreciation of Louisiana music. Current initiatives include establishing a free internet "radio" station broadcasting Louisiana music worldwide 24/7, and a joint effort with the New Orleans Jazz Museum to install a public listening room onsite. More to come!
