A Music Map of New Orleans Lives - with Creole Jazz Singer John Boutté

It’s a sonic map of New Orleans music from the recording studios and nightclubs to jazz parades. Songs about life on Basin Street and Bourbon Street, to Rampart Street and the lady from la rue Dauphine in the voices of Trombone Shorty, Louis Armstrong, Billie Holiday, Ida Cox and Louis Prima. Then, a live session at Marigny Studios with Creole jazz and soul singer John Boutté who grew up in the Tremé neighborhood in a family of ten kids, where singing was a household and street corner pastime.

FALL - PHAROAH SANDERS

September 29th, 1999

Is that a slight nip in the air I feel…? Wishful thinking for the first week of Fall, at least down South. So we have a “cool” conversation with jazz saxophone luminary Pharaoh Sanders—the man John Coltrane called “My right arm.” Plus, a birthday tribute to Gershwin.
