Description
WHYR Down The Road 076. Aired March 1, 2015. We start off with some old Rhythm & Blues from Champion Jack Dupree, Dave Bartholomew, Archibald, and Professor Longhair. Then music by Dr. John, John Boutte, Luke Winslow King, and Uncle Lionel Batiste. In the second hour we play all "new" Traditional Jazz. Traditional Jazz is generally just that - traditional. What we call Trad Jazz is jazz like it was played 80 years ago. Most of the songs that today's Trad Jazz groups play are old standards that are 70, 80, even 100 years old. But some of the Traditional Jazz groups in New Orleans right now are writing new songs in the old style. So in the second hour we will play original tunes by traditional jazz groups playing in New Orleans right now. Music by Linnzi Zaorski, Miss Sophie Lee, the New Orleans Jazz Vipers, Meschiya Lake & the Little Big Horns, Tuba Skinny, the New Orleans Moonshiners, Don Vappie, and the Panorama Jazz Band. Enjoy!
