But more than a decade, most have been portrait-like renderings of such performers as Fats Domino, Professor Longhair, Jerry Lee Lewis, Harry Connick Jr., Pete Fountain and Wynton Marsalis.</p><p>The poster is sold during Jazz Fest, which runs April 23-25 and April 29-May 2.</p><img src="http://admatch-syndication.mochila.com/images/ad.gif?aid=68337082&bid=informcom" /></div><div id="copyright"><div>
