Voices of New Orleans -- Music Friday: Wynton and 'Silent Night'

Music Friday: Wynton and 'Silent Night'

December 28, 2007

By law, citizens are permitted to play “holiday music” (ie Christmas music) through January first. After that, such music shall be confiscated and the person who plays or sings the music shall be fined a minimum of $50.

So, we are safe to play “Silent Night” this week.

Behind the cut, Wynton Marsalis and Kathleen Battle playing a beautiful version of that tune. If you look closely (during the third minute), you can watch Wynton falling in love.

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.
