  • Fats Domino Goin' Home
    “Goin’ Home” We’ll Miss You, Fats “Everybody started calling my music rock and roll, but it wasn't anything but the same rhythm and blues I'd been playing down in New Orleans.” - FATS DOMINO “As far as I know, the music makes people happy. I know it makes me happy.” - FATS DOMINO “Let's face it, I can't sing like Fats Domino can. I know that.” - ELVIS PRESLEY “Well, I wouldn't want to say that I started it (rock „n‟ roll), but I don't remember anyone else before me playing that kind of stuff.” - FATS DOMINO “Even if Fats didn‟t actually invent rock „n‟ roll, he was certainly responsible for accidentally inventing ska, and thus reggae … Antoine „Fats‟ Domino was definitely a great innovator, and richly deserves a much fatter entry in the history books.” – OWEN ADAMS On Tuesday, 3:30 a.m., October 24, 2017, New Orleans and the world lost a pioneering titan of rock „n‟ roll, “Fats” Domino. The popular pianist and singer-songwriter of the Lower 9th Ward was 89. During his career, this influential, yet humble performer sold more than 65 million records and had over 35 hits in the U.S. Billboard Top 40, including “Ain‟t That a Shame,” “Blueberry Hill” and “Blue Monday”. With producer and arranger Dave Bartholomew, “Fats” helped put his hometown on the rock „n‟ roll map. This shy lifelong New Orleanian influenced numerous artists including Paul McCartney and Randy Newman, who once confessed, “I was so influenced by Fats Domino that it‟s still hard for me to write a song that‟s not a New Orleans shuffle.” Domino‟s distinctive barreling triplet-based piano style, backed by a solid backbeat, was something exceptional, a step above traditional rhythm and blues.

  • Fats Domino, Early Rock 'N' Roller with a Boogie-Woogie Piano, Is Dead at 89
    Fats Domino, Early Rock ’n’ Roller With a Boogie-Woogie Piano, Is Dead at 89 https://www.nytimes.com/2017/10/25/obituaries/fats-domino-89-one-of-rock-n-rolls-first-stars-is-dead.html October 25, 2017 By JON PARELES and WILLIAM GRIMES Fats Domino in 1967. Fats Domino, the New Orleans rhythm-and-blues singer whose two-fisted boogie-woogie piano and nonchalant vocals, heard on dozens of hits, made him one of the biggest stars of the early rock ’n’ roll era, died on Tuesday at his home in Harvey, La., across the Mississippi River from New Orleans. He was 89. His death was confirmed by the Jefferson Parish coroner’s office. Mr. Domino had more than three dozen Top 40 pop hits through the 1950s and early ’60s, among them “Blueberry Hill,” “Ain’t It a Shame” (also known as “Ain’t That a Shame,” which is the actual lyric), “I’m Walkin’,” “Blue !1 Monday” and “Walkin’ to New Orleans.” Throughout he displayed both the buoyant spirit of New Orleans, his hometown, and a droll resilience that reached listeners worldwide. He sold 65 million singles in those years, with 23 gold records, making him second only to Elvis Presley as a commercial force. Presley acknowledged Mr. Domino as a predecessor. “A lot of people seem to think I started this business,” Presley told Jet magazine in 1957. “But rock ’n’ roll was here a long time before I came along. Nobody can sing that music like colored people. Let’s face it: I can’t sing it like Fats Domino can.

  • Self-Esteem and Breaking the Cycle of Prison Recidivism Ed Poindexter
    On Heroes and She-roes: Self-Esteem and Breaking the Cycle of Prison Recidivism Ed Poindexter enjoy looking up words in the dictionary to learn their root meaning. In I the old days people knew exactly what they were doing when they assigned names and labels to things, places, events, and states of mind. "Esteem," for example, stems from the Latin word aestimare, and means to appraise, estimate, or give an opinion of. Therefore, self-esteem is the appraisal, estimation, or opinion we have of ourselves. It is a common belief that people with high self-esteem produce good results, and that those with low self-esteem produce poor results. The term is sometimes used interchangeably with self-image, which is the mental picture we have of ourselves. Our thoughts and behaviors are reflections of our self-image. Self-confidence is assurance we have in our abilities. Often confused with conceit, self-love is a prerequisite to truly loving others. Conceit is actually a mask or facade worn to hide such insecurities as an inferiority complex. To fall in love with someone with little or no self-love is asking for trouble. Technically, self-esteem is our opinion of our self-love, self-image and self-confidence. They are so closely related that if one is low the others will sag. Also used interchangeably with self-esteem, self-concept is the sum total of all the above. I have become so preoccupied with these terms over the past ten years that I am convinced people with high self-esteem either do not come to prison, or do but learn from their mistakes, leave, and never return.

  • Henry Butler Bio Widely Hailed As a Pianist and Vocalist, Henry Butler Is
    Henry Butler Bio Widely hailed as a pianist and vocalist, Henry Butler is considered the premier exponent of the great New Orleans jazz and blues piano tradition. A master of musical diversity, he combines the percussive jazz piano playing of McCoy Tyner and the New Orleans style playing of Professor Longhair to craft a sound uniquely his own. A rich amalgam of jazz, Caribbean, classical, pop, blues, and R&B, his music is as excitingly eclectic as that of his New Orleans birthplace. Butler performs as a soloist; with his blues groups—Henry Butler and the Game Band, and Henry Butler and Jambalaya; and with his traditional jazz band, Papa Henry and the Steamin’ Syncopators, as well as with other musicians. In 2013, Butler, Bernstein & The Hot 9 was formed to record Viper’s Drag, released in the summer of 2014 as the first release of the relaunched Impulse! label. His recordings have been noted by Downbeat and Jazz Times, and his performances are regularly reviewed in The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, the Los Angeles Times, and others. He has appeared on the hit HBO show Treme and is included on the 2012 CD Treme, Season 2: Music from the Original HBO Series. Blinded by glaucoma at birth, Butler was admitted to the Louisiana School for the Blind (now the Louisiana School for the Visually Impaired) in Baton Rouge at the age of five, and cycled back and forth between Baton Rouge during the school year and the Calliope Housing Projects in New Orleans in the summer. Butler may have been born blind, but someone with clearer, deeper, more creative vision would be hard to find.

  • The Man Who Invented Jazz? C O on the Surface, It May Seem a Stretch; on Closer Inspection, It’S an Entirely Appropriate Honor
    EARLY NFL B B N C E JELLY ROLL MORTON IN THE ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME? The man who invented jazz? C o On the surface, it may seem a stretch; on closer inspection, it’s an entirely appropriate honor. A music that has always borrowed liberally from other streams in its ongoing evolu­ tion would and should embrace as one of its own an artist imbued with the sensibility that bespeaks great art in general, rock & roll in specific: a zeal for adventure, disdain of the status quo, an innate drive to push the boundaries of convention until the artist breaks on through to the other side with something so new and brazen it’s virtually indefinable -I but talismanic to all the daring souls courageous enough to follow the same path. C o Remember that in the late 1920s, when Louis Armstrong was cutting his monumental sessions with his Hot Five and Hot Seven ensembles, Morton was charging ahead with his equally formidable Red Hot Peppers recordings. Ceding nothing to Satchmo, Morton made sure everyone knew of his achievements and even wrote a song about himself, called “Mr. Jelly Lord,” that pretty much said it all. He was styling at every turn, surrounding himself with Leader of the Band: beautiful women, dazzling the commonfolk with ° conducts his Red Hot his expensive, tailored suits and sporting a million- Peppers, circa 1928 dollar smile that revealed a diamond embedded in one tooth. C o But attitude will get you only so far. Jelly Roll backed up his braggadocio with a body of work that reveals him to be an extraordinary, even visionary, composer, bandleader, arranger and musician.

  • City of New Orleans-Katrina
    December 18, 2005----- NEW ORLEANS --- There is no foliage in the upscale Lakeview neighborhood near Lake Pontchartrain. The sound of children has been stilled in the Lower 9th Ward. There are no words to describe the barren city still desolate nearly four months after Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans. Arlo Guthrie, his family and fellow musicians got a two-hour private police-escorted tour that brought home their "Ridin' on the City of New Orleans" journey, which began Dec. 5 at Union Station. Amtrak's historic City of New Orleans train arrived here Thursday night. Along the route, Guthrie and other musicians played concerts to raise money to restore the New Orleans musical infrastructure. On Friday afternoon, Arlo Guthrie stood in front of Fats Domino's vacant house in the Lower 9th Ward. The songwriter struggled to find words. The Lower 9th opened up only last week after being inundated when water breached the levee that formed the ward's western boundary. "It's kind of hard to imagine even being here," Guthrie said as he glanced over his shoulder. Domino's house was once Cadillac pink. It is now splattered with mud, debris and loving graffiti. Carnage went down Domino's beloved Caffin Avenue as far as the eye could see. "You wonder what is going to happen," Guthrie said. "No kids. No sound of kids." He stopped and walked away. His singer-songwriter daughter, Sarah Lee Guthrie, cried as she boarded the bus. The December sky was gray. And much of New Orleans looked like nuclear winter. In the Lower 9th, levees had been overtopped by funnels of water.
