Here is an interesting artist that's new to me, and I wanted to share his music.

I’m more partial to this guy. Love it when he sings the blues in french.

He music is closer to the delta.

Can't talk about New Orleans and not mention this great lady, and New Orleans native.  Nothing French or Spanish here.

The last recording I purchased by the Duke.   The Duke was good at painting portraits.

I love the music.   I can do without the rest of it.    And all this time I thought the civil rights movement started in Montgomery, Alabama with Miss Rosa Parks and the bus boycott.    Silly me.

Good info, but have your salt shaker at the ready.

Cheers

Reminds me:

This LP and this song was the first music I fell in love with. I think my brother got it from some record club back in the day. Still have it on LP and CD. For some reason the CD’s sound sucks. Some of the most beautiful music ever made.

Thanks for the memories.

Cheers

Snooks Eaglin:

Snooks ranks among the best in the blues world. Nice rendition of a beautiful tune.

Nice clip

Cheers

Lloyd Glenn:

Nice clip, but the sound seemed muffled.   Rather simple arrangement.   The other one , the noise just got to me.   Never did hear 'Sleigh Ride'.    The comments were over the top, so I guess he was very popular at one time.

I may as well confess now, I purchased Jon Batiste's Christmas CD.

Cheers

***** That fact will never let me rest,*****
Rest easy.   There is nothing you could have done.   Hopefully they have learned their lesson, but I doubt it.   They were always doomed, just a matter or when and what hurricane showed up.

The time for action is BEFORE the hurricane arrives.   All levels of government in Louisiana failed their citizens.    The people don't expect much from their elected officials, and they are seldom disappointed.   Of course the people themselves are not exactly blameless.

Anything at Scott AFB was also in Louisiana.

Cheers

Music from the Texas side.

Must have recording.

Recommendation:

25 years of Louisiana music on Rounder records--LOUISIANA SPICE

D. L. Menard:

If it's authentic, it's all good.

***** They have their own food and their own style of music*****

I think that's the answer.  O-10 alluded to that earlier, folks being comfortable in their surroundings.  Wynton went up north, and in spite of his brilliance, he has been under attack by noise-makers ever since he got there.

One of my favorites from Louisiana Scrapbook:

I hope I didn't post this earlier.

Cheers

keegiam:
I think you have that the other way around. 
Cheers

BTW, there is nothing in the subject of this thread that says New Orleans, Nawlins or even New Or Leans.   Anyway, there are probably more great musicians FROM New Orleans than there are currently IN New Orleans.

Since you are an aficionado at heart, all good Jazz, and anything on Jazz' family tree, should be welcomed

Cheers

You are a lot more adventurous than I am. I never think to buy foreign artists. All that Malian stuff is readily recognizable. Nice tune and production. I am so disgusted with Africa, I take it out on their music.

One of my last purchases was:
Nina Simone -- ESSENTIAL ORIGINAL ALBUMS
Six albums on four CDs.   Very nice packaging with booklet.
I especially wanted this tune, that you posted some while ago:

Trust me, there are folks in the bayous of Louisiana that will make  New Orleans and any other place  seem normal.

All folks revert when they loose contact with and  the influence of the dominant society.

Nice Mingus clip.

Cheers

*****apparently folks here only respond to things "New Orleans";*****

That is always my problem with 'threads'.  I love all good music, so i always get into trouble in regards to the subject of the thread.  

Maybe the best name for a thread would be "The Good Stuff", be it music, all music, dance, or gear.  Of course,, one man's good stuff is another's noise.
Oh well, , it's lonely at the top.   hahahhah

Cheers

***** Personally, I'm also curious to know what makes New Orleans so special to the people who were born there?*****

I don't know the answer to that.   I went there once to pick up my car at the port.   I was not impressed, but I didn't stay for the night life.

I think Katrina took the last remaining sheen off of New Orleans.
(Too much crime, too many poor folks, too much corruption.)

The phrase 'borrowed time' comes to mind.
The city is still 10 ft below sea level.
The gulf of Mexico is still there.
We still get hurricanes every year.
Water still cannot be compressed.
You do the math.

Las Vegas is a better destination for sin city, plus it's family friendly.

'Sitting in Limbo'
Where was Aaron?
Nice clip, performed in my neck of the woods.


No matter how hard they swing, Clark Terry hardly moves a muscle.

Well, what’s the verdict? Did they pull it off? Don’t ever remember Wynton sounding so soulful. Loved his playing.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mOkD_TsKUJo

What's with the 'conductor'?

Cheers

Not in New Orleans but could have been.

FYI,
According to wiki, a person can get their own second line parade for around 600 dollars.  I don't think you even have to be dead.   Stay tuned for Rok's second line , in Treme, of course.   OP on Bone. :)

Great clips O-10.   Sooo much energy.   They are so enthused, and playing so loud,  it's hard to play in tune.   But who cares.

Cheers

I'm posting this just to point out that this was recorded the same year as KOB.  I never think of these two types of Jazz co-existing.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=06FEKDVxVe8

Who'd a thunk it.

Cheers

I'm just smiling:

I wonder what the boys in the Hot Five would think of this.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rJmgg3ol1MY

Cheers

Jelly Roll Morton nailed it, when he said ’Jazz is a way of playing music’.

I just love the history, esp with pictures.

Cheers

Great music and pictures.   Interesting to see how 'soloing' evolved in Jazz.   That was Ory playing in Pops hot five.
Great stuff.

STORYVILLE was supposed to be the BEST part of the city. :)

Cheers

Well, we should all know most of  the Jazz greats.  Early R&R and R&B pioneers would be folks like Lloyd Price, Huey Piano Smith, Professor LongHair, Ernie K-Doe etc.....

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6sxnXO2RjVg


The best CD I have is LOUISIANA SCRAPBOOK, but I can't find it on you-tube.   I have a few from Rounder records, I will have to search for them.

Preservation Hall Jazz Band was authentic, but now tourist.  I have two by them.

Let's not forget Zydeco.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=igdOIce6UdE
Maybe not New Orleans, but surely Louisiana.

More clips later.

Cheers

New Orleans is the source of much great American music.   The source of many, many great artists.

However, New Orleans has become a tourist destination in more recent times.   Therefore, we must be careful not to confuse the caricature of New Orleans, for tourist consumption, with the real, original and authentic musical sources in New Orleans.

Cheers

Gregory Porter:

Nice song and performance.   But as I get older the crooning style appeals less and less to me.   I like the more upbeat stuff.

Cheers

Favorite Aaron  Neville:

With his brothers for sure.   This is one of my favorite CDs, YELLOW MOON.  Terrible tune.

For the live experience try LIVE AT TIPITINAS.

Just my personal taste, but these guys don't make bad music.   It's all good.

I just can't help it.   Just regular folks making a joyful noise.

I think Marcia missed the essence of the song. The sax solo was totally out of place.

A great Group

New Orleans Royalty.

My mom worked on the levees placing sandbags in Mississippi. Will always remember her stories.

Cheers

I didn't think anyone would move to that place on purpose.

*****Porter moved to the Bedford-Stuyvesant section of Brooklyn in 2004,*****

Good info.   Thanks.  

Cheers

Still don't know where to place this guy.   I just love to hear him.

Besides, you will go gaga over anything with the word Nica in the title. :)

*****Not that we don't like the diamond in it's entirety, we just have different favorites.*****

Those are two of my favorite CDs.   I just  see her forays into R&B as a refreshing reminder.   The reason I like Dee Dee,  Marsalis, Jon Batiste and people like them so much, is that they respect and never lose contact with the source.   Like most musicians way down yonder .

Cheers

That's what I meant.  Because this was New Orleans Royalty.
Cheers

I guess crowd conduct is based on who is being interred.

I purchased a CD by Hall and Oates just to get this tune.   If I had known this existed,  I would have saved my money.

O-10:
That's the same one I posted.   Not the same address, but same clip.
There is one done at the White House, but it's too 'Presidential".

Cheers

If you are interested in music from New Orleans you must own this one.   I remember the page the review was printed on in Stereo Review.   What a loss! (stereo review).
