In New Orleans, music screams. It honks. It blats. It wails. It
purrs. It messes with time. It messes with pitch. It messes with
your feet. It messes with your head. One musician leads to another;
traditions overlap, intertwine, nourish each other; and everyone
seems to know everyone else. From traditional jazz through rhythm
and blues and rock 'n' roll to sissy bounce, in second-line
parades, from the streets to clubs and festivals, the music seems
unending. In Talking New Orleans Music, author Burt Feintuch has
pursued a decades-long fascination with the music of this singular
city. Thinking about the devastation--not only material but also
cultural--caused by the levees breaking in 2005, he began a series
of conversations with master New Orleans musicians, talking about
their lives, the cultural contexts of their music, their
experiences during and after Katrina, and their city. Photographer
Gary Samson joined him, adding a compelling visual dimension to the
book. Here you will find intimate and revealing interviews with
eleven of the city's most celebrated musicians and
culture-bearers--Soul Queen Irma Thomas, Walter ""Wolfman""
Washington, Charmaine Neville, John Boutte, Dr. Michael White,
Deacon John Moore, Cajun bandleader Bruce Daigrepont, Zion
Harmonizer Brazella Briscoe, producer Scott Billington, as well as
Christie Jourdain and Janine Waters of the Original Pinettes, New
Orleans's only all-woman brass band. Feintuch's interviews and
Samson's sixty-five color photographs create a powerful portrait of
an American place like no other and its worlds of music.
