ELLEN SMITH & BAND @ GAZEBO CAFE - NEW ORLEANS - 27TH JULY 2011 (2)
Ellen Smith & Band @ Gazebo Cafe - New Orleans - 27th July 2011 (2):
While I was travelling throughout some of America, I went to New Orleans.
In a nutshell - I was walking along, heard some fine grooves, fine vocals, and I was thirsty for a beer. So i sat down, had a few tasty local Abita beers! and had to get this on film. What amazed me most was the fact that these guys were busking! yes, thats right - playing for tips. If they were here in Australia, they would be in a venue playing for actual pay. Thats how much talent and kick ass music there is in the States. It was a mighty hot day too - 40 degree heat.. But, the funky soul blues carried me on through.
Was great to meet them, and to get up and play some Keyboards with them! :-)
They were awesome! If ever you are in New Orleans, go check them out.

Jason Marsalis - Discipline Explores Preservation Hall and Studio 54
In 1998, Jason Marsalis released his debut record, The Year of the Drummer, which included a track entitled Discipline. This particular composition features Jason on the drums, multi-tracked, with no other accompanying musicians.
Marsalis explains the concept behind Discipline is, in part, a demonstration of what is required to master percussion. A musician-in-training is required to repeatedly play a single note or pattern in painstaking practice to achieve mastery of a concept. Marsalis's goal is to create a long line of Discipline tracks that feature different styles and rhythms.
On Marsalis's second album, Music in Motion, the second installment in the Discipline series is featured, appropriately titled, Discipline Strikes Again.
When Director Darren Hoffman worked with Jason Marsalis to record material used in the TRADITION IS A TEMPLE motion picture, soundtrack and accompanying music software -- they produced the third Discipline installment: Discipline Explores Preservation Hall and Studio 54.

Travel Channel’s Brian Unger travels back in time to a New Orleans Jazz social hall
Brian Unger and a group of locals time travel to Texas in the early 1930s, hot on the trail of America’s most infamous couple: Clyde Barrow and Bonnie Parker. First stop, Hargraves Café in Dallas, the restaurant where Bonnie once worked as a teen before Barrow lured her into a life of crime. Next, the group hops into a vintage Ford V8 (Barrow’s ride of choice) to visit the old Barrow family home and filling station as it transforms back to the 1930s. Unger busts a few popular myths about the couple and visits the sites of a botched holdup at Eubanks Hardware store, the Texas bank heist and the fatal shooting of a deputy sheriff – all culminating with the duo’s violent deaths in Louisiana. Next, Unger heads to New Orleans where he and his guests witness the birth of the only truly American musical art form: jazz. The locals meet in Congo Square, a musical melting pot where diverse music styles would later fuse into jazz. The group enjoys a private performance by famous jazz trombonist, Delfeayo Marsalis. Marsalis strikes up the band to show them the difference between jazz and its musical ancestors. Then, Unger leads the locals to the other side of Lake Pontchartrain to visit an early 20th century African-American society hall where early jazz greats honed their skills. One of Unger’s guests, jazz singer Leah Rucker, takes the stage for a smoky rendition of an old classic. The tour ends, as it should, aboard the riverboat Natchez, as the group discovers how jazz spread up the Mississippi. New episode premieres Thursday, June 25 at 8:00pm ET/PT.
