This will be amazing! I saw Johnny Sansone with Tab Benoit a couple years ago at Bluestock on Hunter Mtn, Trombone Shorty was the headliner. On that particular night, Tab Benoit and Johnny Sansone blew Shorty away! (BTW...this was the night before Hurricane Irene hit - and all these New Orleanians had to beat it out of here.)

If you don’t already know who Johnny Sansone is, it’s high time you found out about him. Long known for his instrumental prowess, particularly on harmonica and accordion, Sansone has …

Alynda Segarra takes her love of The Ronettes' lust-drenched rock 'n' roll Rosetta stone one step further and re-creates the trio's iconic 1965 TV performance.

I played the Dirty Bourbon River Show's 2nd Line on the show last Friday - and WQFS DJ David Wright called in. He was on the beach in North Carolina with a bourbon "go-cup" and tuned in! He wanted me to know that his friend had made a firing-breathing tuba for the Dirty Bourbon River Show...You can catch David's show "Caravan" on WQFS Guilford College Radio- Tuesday mornings. (Lots of great stuff from New Orleans on his playlists!)

Fantastic (and so important)! Thank you Polly Waring. Read about it in the New Yorker and find it at the website ->a new 2-DVD Collector's Edition with 38-page book. fessup.palfifilms.com.

Fess didn’t live to see his musical inventions fully revered and canonized. The restoration of the documentary “Piano Players Rarely Ever Play Together” is a small boon against that sorrow.

New Orleans Jazz Museum tweeted, "Happy Birthday to legendary New Orleans pianist and composer, Louis Moreau Gottschalk!

Born May 8, 1829, Gottschalk was one of the most famous 19th century American composers - drawing on elements of French, Creole, African, Caribbean and Southern culture."

Listening to music...thinking about what I want to play tomorrow on the radio. I am SO moved - always - by this one: Allen Toussaint - I Wave Bye Bye. (written by Jesse Wi******er and recorded as a tribute to him.).."You'll only sail is circles, so there's no need to cry
No, I'll see you again one day, and then I'll wave bye bye."

From the new tribute album QUIET ABOUT IT, for Jesse Wi******er. I Wave Bye Bye performed by Allen Toussaint Note: If anyone objects to this video due to...
