Homage to New Orleans (September 9, 2005)

(Week 9)

This was a deeply emotional program for me, and that more than comes through toward the end of the broadcast. ("Over in the Glory Land" by Sam Morgan was the breaking point.) Here follows some of the best New Orleans jazz ever recorded, music by New Orleans musicians who "made good," and contemporary (1920s and 1930s) tributes to the City that was our Soul:
