The selection process in New Orleans is brutal. Only the best survive.

Jazz for aficionados
in New Orleans, kids with horns are all over the place, walking home from school - at high school football games, even if the team loses, if your band wins that is a victory and here's a quote from a friend (who does not live there): "most of the street musicians would be band leaders in other cities" |
Without a doubt, that would have been better with a southern choir; everything goes better with biscuits, butter and molasses. Which reminds me of a joke, "How can I have Mo-lasses, when I aint had No-lasses"? Somehow, sophisticated Northern soul is not quite the same as southern "Nawlins" soul. I've got one more cut to conclude R2D4, and it's one that's probably already in everyone's collection; "Grace, Passion, and Fire", features three of the worlds greatest guitarists. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X3iGy4ErYNE Enjoy the music. |
Grace, Passion and Fire: Virtuoso playing by three masters of the Guitar. However, they forgot to get to the Jazz part. Ever notice how albums like this will always give you a tip-off by the album cover art. Land or sea scape. That seems to indicate soundscape music inside. No foxy babe on the cover of this type music. Cheers |
Rok, for me, that's universal, ageless music, it never gets old, and also has good recording quality; that puts it over the top. There was another piece of music that fit in that category, and we both liked the way they danced, but I can't remember it right now; it was a traditional dance, maybe you can remember and find it. |
