Organizers say there will be a New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival next year.

Jazz Fest producer-director Quint Davis says he's committed to a 2006 festival despite the damage from of Hurricane Katrina. He says the festival will be in Louisiana and will be as close to New Orleans as possible.

Davis also says A-E-G Live, which funded the festival this year, will back it again next year.

The festival site, dates and the format aren't set.

The Jazz Fest is usually held at the Fair Grounds Race Course in New Orleans. That site was damaged by the hurricane.
