Voices of New Orleans

“We’re not here to make friends." — a sergeant in the National Guard patrolling New Orleans

Music Friday: New Orleans Jazz Orchestra

September 07, 2007

No one in New Orleans suffers from Restless Leg Syndrome. We have the cure — parade in the streets. Even when it is as hot as it is right now (95 degrees, heat index at 111), all one needs to do is connect those legs to a good groove and they will no longer feel so restless.

Even when the music is elegant and indoors, as it is in this week’s Music Friday, one’s legs should find some harmony.

Behind the cut is the elegant New Orleans Jazz Orchestra featuring Irving Mayfield. Forget the medicine advertised on TV and let those legs settle in to the music.

About this blog

After Katrina and its horrible aftermath, Chin Music Press felt compelled to shine its wobbly flashlight on New Orleans. This effort resulted in our second book, Do You Know What It Means To Miss New Orleans? Along the way, we met a community of passionate, eloquent writers who care deeply about what happens to the Big Easy. This blog became a natural extension of the book. It's our way of adding voices to the unfolding story of New Orleans.
