Loyola University is kicking off its annual Jazz Festival this week.

Lil Wayne's already delayed jail term in a gun case abruptly got put off again Tuesday because of a fire in the courthouse where he was due to be sentenced.

R&B superstar Alicia Keys has been added to the headline roster for this year's Essence Music Festival in New Orleans.

Little more than a week ago, Lil Wayne was reinforcing his place in rap's pantheon with a commanding performance at the Grammy Awards ceremony. His latest album, "Rebirth," was officially released Feb. 2.

This year's lineup also includes Simon & Garfunkel, Pearl Jam, Aretha Franklin, Van Morrison, The Neville Brothers, Lionel Richie, Allman Brothers Band, Teena Marie, B.B. King, Darius Rucker and dozens of others.
