Back from N'awlins y'all. We had a great time diggin' the music scene down there. This podcast reflects the music we heard, and the musicians that were performing throughout the city and particularly in the clubs on Frenchman Street near the French Quarter. We start with the man that started it all, Louis Armstrong, and move into the big brass sound of The Dirty Dozen Brass Band. We caught trombonist Delfeayo Marsalis leading his own 15 piece band, so he is represented here though in a quintet setting. I picked up Pat Casey's and the New Sound's CD at his performance at the Spotted Cat Music Club. These young cats represent some of the fine musicians playing all kinds of jazz throughout the city, and keeping the jazz scene fresh in New Orleans. Here is a video I took of a fine street band on Jackson Square.

The show title has nothing to do with the music, but this broadcast preceded the UCONN Huskies basketball team drive to the NCAA championship. OK, now that we have that out of the way, we hear from jazz's greatest artists. Trane, Miles, Holland, Chick. Throw in a recent release from Miles' alter ego Wallace Roney, Hartford's own Steve Davis covering Trane, and this is one hour plus of high quality jazz music. If you are a jazz fan, you HAVE to dig this set.

This is a listener inspired podcast. From a Facebook wall post, I was turned on to a Roy Haynes album, Out of the Afternoon, featuring an early Rahsaan Roland Kirk appearance. This led to a RRK set as well. All that is sandwiched in between an intense opener with Trombone Shorty, Matt Wilson and Noah Preminger, and ends with a gorgeous mellow set of Larry Willis and Vijay Iyer.
