Photos of our many friends and amazing family. Without whom we would not be here.

From 2001-2006, Sunset Promotions produced a series of concerts coinciding with the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival. The centerpiece was the now legendary "Frenchmen Block Party". Other events included shows with the likes of Jurassic 5, Spearhead, Blackalicious, Soulive and the 60+ piece Dakah Hip Hop Orchestra.

For more than 14 years, Sunset oversaw production of the North Beach Jazz Fest. The Festival is on Hiatus but these photos are just a few of the many fond memories that all of us have of this beautiful event. Most of these photos were taken by our festival stalwart photographer SCOTT CHERNIS, whose work can be found at www.scottchernis.com
