I sincerely apologize in advance - no Kid Ory or King Oliver. No Dave Bartholomew, Fats Domino, Nevilles, Ernie K-Doe, Lloyd Price, Eddie Bo, Rosco Gordon, Huey Smith, Tremé Brass Band, Rebirth Brass Band, Mardi Gras Indians. No attempt made to leave Orleans Parish for Bois Sec Ardoin, Clifton Chenier, Boozoo Chavis, Dennis McGee, Canray Fontenot. No Dr. John. It's impossible to begin to pay ample tribute to New Orleans music - much less that of Louisiana - in a half hour, so instead, I humbly offer up some city-specific samples that I hold dear, knowing the surface is far from scratched. -- NS Playlist 01 Jelly Roll Morton and His Red Hot Peppers - Original Jelly Roll Blues (2:50) The Pearls (Biograph) 02 Baby Dodds - Rudiments (2:09) Talking and Drum Solos (Atavistic/Unheard Music) 03 Roy Montrell - That Mello Saxophone (3:10) Wild and Frantic!

And make sure you pay a visit to WWOZ IN EXILE - the 24 hour stream, donated by the peerless WFMU, of past shows from New Orleans' finest radio station: wwoz.org. They've been digging into their vaults, raising money to get back on the air in a new space. If you're lucky you'll catch the 1998 Mardi Gras special hosted by Ernie "Burn K-Doe Burn!" K-Doe.
