Thanks for the...Hey Steve, great to hear from you. Thanks for the comment, Trad is much alive in NO and it's great to see so many young folks out there playing. Frenchmen Street is really hopping, Bourbon Street has gotten so awful, loud blaring renditions of "Brick House", so people in the know head right down to Frenchmen, and the good news is the tourists are finding out about Frenchmen St., so all is well, mostly, in New Orleans. Must send a Thank You to all the volunteers and visitors who continue to help in recovery, we appreciate and are very grateful for your love of the city and its music. xo nita <br /><br />xo nitaNhemeter@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06035344893703789479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1959286621592188397.post-2834360115236191442012-01-13T13:27:26.334-05:002012-01-13T13:27:26.334-05:00Nita,

Also, there are great recordings of this music. Check out WWOZ for Traditional New Orleans Jazz. Keep swinging and keep playing the music that was born in New Orleans.<br /><br />xo nita hemeterNhemeter@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06035344893703789479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1959286621592188397.post-35961642480593938162011-06-22T16:09:18.061-04:002011-06-22T16:09:18.061-04:00Thanks, Anonymous, for commenting, although it'...Thanks, Anonymous, for commenting, although it's such a broad generalization that it's tough to respond meaningfully.Steve Provizerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09757505876939504133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1959286621592188397.post-76683217503933190642011-06-22T15:51:32.849-04:002011-06-22T15:51:32.849-04:00New Orleans jazz is great live but it rarely trans...New Orleans jazz is great live but it rarely translates to great recorded music.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1959286621592188397.post-78216697361237244472011-06-10T16:05:01.953-04:002011-06-10T16:05:01.953-04:00My bad---My bad---Steve Provizerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09757505876939504133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1959286621592188397.post-87807678631256436782011-06-10T15:46:50.858-04:002011-06-10T15:46:50.858-04:00Hmmm...

I am working hard with my new band - mostly 20-somethings and a few in 30s - to build a core NOLA repertoire ala SLSAPS, old school and funk alike, but they just don't resonate with it like we/I do. It's frustrating, but many of them come from pep bands in school and I guess didn't play that much, or any, NOLA jazz. [And of course, they didn't play by ear, learn to solo, etc.] They are more oriented to pop music or old rock.<br /><br />I am working my way through, though, bit by bit - we're about to introduce the 12-bar blues form. A long way to go...<br /><br />BobBob Follansbeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04116493944266023788noreply@blogger.com
