Rhythm Kitchen explores the fusion of food and music through the senses of Chefs and Musicians; complemented with commentary from scholars, food critics and restauranteurs. The first episode features New Orleans’ Executive Chef-Christopher Lynch, Musician, Producer, and Music Educator- Delfeayo Marsalis, Culinary Historian, Author, and Filmmaker-Zella Palmer and Restaurateur Tony Tocco. The series spotlights the similarities in the creative process of chefs and musicians and how music brings an additional immersive sense to the food experience when one hears the music and tastes the food. The series was the brainchild of Tony Tocco who has had extensive experience with food and music throughout his career and developed in conjunction with Michael Murphy Productions who produced the show.

Sad to hear of the passing of Eric Paulsen. He interviewed us many times over the years, and was always a compassionate and astute interviewer. He put as much value on local news as well as national, and was a true supporter of local talent!

In 1992, with the support of Isaac T. , Michael approached CBS Radio to broadcast a new series. This was before the first House of Blues club opened. They agreed. Then in conjunction with Ben Manilla, and Dan Aykroyd they created and produced the series - giving the House of Blues national exposure. After Michael left HOB, Ben Manilla took over the series with new partners, and continued the successful series. Glad to see it has landed at the Smithsonian.

When Russia invaded Ukraine, H. Memo Rhein produced a song in support of the Ukrainians. We were lucky to be asked to create the video. 2 years on, another video has been created for the song (that we did not create) " to make it more actual ... how a dream gets buried". "The material in this video demonstrates Georgian people’s protest against ‘Foreign Agents Law’. The law threatens democratic existence, county’s development, independence and puts under question Georgia’s integration into EU, that is a long-term wish of the country’s population. Already for weeks, Georgia’s capital city -Tbilisi, along with other major and small cities are immersed in peaceful protests. Hundreds of thousands of people of all ages, of various backgrounds, different occupations and beliefs oppose the bill, while the government is trying to legalize it by violent means.

Music is a universal language that all the nations around the globe understand equally. ‘Wings of Freedom’ is a transcription of original Georgian Song ‘Freedom’ by Chabuka Amiranashvili, the song was initially created as a musical manifest to convey the message that Freedom is an ultimate value that we have to protect and fight for."

The is true for all peoples currently under attack.

This week Allen Toussaint's "Southern Nights" was designated as official state cultural song of Louisiana. During the production of our film "Make It Funky!" we sat down with Allen to discuss the song. Here is a link to Allen discussing why he wrote "Southern Nights" and a performance clip.

Southern Nights: “and every now and then, a big gust of wind would come through and really disturb things and the—in the trees and the ones over in the other lot—lots over there—they would all start having this—this little light show, like little silver lights through the night and a big gust of air would just come and it’s—it felt like it just went right through you. But as you’re sitting there … everyone that’s important. Everyone whose is anyone is right here, everyone who could do anything about your well being. Well that’s what Southern Night is - free as a breeze. The stories that are told.” Mr. Allen Toussaint – Thank-you. Rest In Peace.
