John Boutte gave one of his inspired performances at this year's Jazz Fest. Why this man isn't a bigger star I have no idea. His friend and frequent musical collaborator Paul Sanchez sat in with him for an amazing acoustic version of Paul Simon's "American Tune." With just Paul on guitar and John singing this was about as good as Jazz Fest gets.
