Duplex Mystery Hour: Ken Field

I apologize for the high noise ceiling during the dialogue.

Here's the show.

Roots of Honk!

                                                                                                                             

The Duplex Mystery Jazz Hour on October 3 and upcoming on the 10th showcase music that inspires many of the brass bands playing October 11-13 in Honk, probably the largest gathering of street brass bands in the world.

This program focuses on early brass band music-mostly from New Orleans. The next show will feature the new brass music from New Orleans and some Balkan music, another strong influence for Honk! bands.

Here's the show.
