CBS newsman Ed Bradley was a big fan of the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival. On Friday, the Jazz Fest honored his memory and his two decades of support with an opening-day jazz funeral procession, complete with two brass bands.
Quint Davis introduced singer Jimmy Buffett as the person who first brought Bradley to the festival in the 1980s, and the first to pull him up on a stage and hand him a tambourine.
“Bless you, Father, for bringing us a really bad tambourine player but a great friend,” Buffett said Friday.
Buffett took credit for giving Bradley the nickname “Teddy Badly.” About 45 of Bradley’s friends participating in the parade wore small green pins with the name “Teddy” printed on them.
More on Jimmy in New Orleans (from Duris): There was a reception at Harrah’s for the Jazz Fest foundation with a presentation honoring Ed Bradley. Jimmy performed "Do You Know What it Means to Miss New Orleans" with Allen Toussaint. He presented a check from the sale of the swimsuit model guitar for $47,000. The proceeds went to the Habitat and a local music foundation.
