NEW ORLEANS NOSTALGIA Remembering New Orleans History, Culture and Traditions NEW ORLEANS NOSTALGIA Remembering New Orleans History, Culture and Traditions By Ned Hémard Ode To Jazz Fest New Orleans is where Jazz was born And Louis Armstrong blew his horn. Our artists are the very best, So it made sense to have a Fest. The first one was in Congo Square, Where soulful music filled the air. Mahalia Jackson made the scene, The undisputed Gospel Queen. Duke Ellington and Mahalia Jackson at the first Jazz Fest, 1970 The late Pete Fountain was there, too, And very soon this Jazz Fest grew. The coolest posters out each year And beaucoup bands for you to hear. Pete Fountain For such success, we thank you, Quint, Through such a long and lasting stint, In making happy such a throng When little things can all go wrong. Tents and stages, what a crowd! A thrill to sing those songs out loud. Local favorites through the years, Longhair, K-Doe, they brought cheers. Allen Toussaint, Irma, Fats, Dr. John and all “dem cats”, Street parade and second line, It’s “All These Things” that make you mine. Irma Thomas The best in music, every style, Jazz and Cajun makes us smile. Blues and Gospel, yesiree, Rock and Country, R & B. Island Riddims, fast and slow, Latin, Folk and Zydeco, Ivan Neville’s Dumpstaphunk; But don’t get sunburned, don’t get drunk. Besides the stellar music scene, The Fest is famed for its cuisine. Its food is far beyond compare And not your frequent carny fare: Crawfish beignets, Yaka Mein, Roast duck po-boys (dressed or plain), Jambalaya, Mango Freeze, Springs rolls à la Vietnamese. Ernie K-Doe Such fab food at all the stalls, Softshell crabs and boudin balls. Crawfish Monica, Gator pie, So much food for you to try. Pheasant gumbo with Andouille, A Cajun version of Chop Suey, Chicken livers pepper-jellied, Festers now are happy-bellied. For shoppers, you cannot deny There’s just so much for you to buy, Great arts and crafts from everywhere by artisans with so much flare. Now this year’s lineup is the best, When Stevie Wonder plays the Fest. Just as Stevie starts to sing, “Don’t You Worry ‘Bout A Thing.” And Aaron Neville knows his biz, He’s sure to “Tell It Like It Is” The Meters will all join in, too; In fact, the band all “Axed For You.” Fats Domino Beaded Chiefs all strut their stuff To rhythmic chants, can’t get enough. The Fair Grounds is where it’s all at For those of you who may speak “yat”. So come on down for Jazz and Blues, And bring along your dancin’ shoes. “Do Watcha Wanna” but you must stay And listen to the brass bands play. Hear Harry Connick, Junior croon Or Trombone Shorty play a tune. As Fats would say, just “Be My Guest,” And have a grand time at the Fest. Earl King at the Fest, 20 years ago, 1997 Since Mahalia Jackson joined the second line with the Eureka Brass Band at the very first Jazz Fest in April 1970, the world has acclaimed the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival as the very best there is. See you this year from April 28th through May 7th, 2017. NED HÉMARD New Orleans Nostalgia “Ode to Jazz Fest” Ned Hémard Copyright 2017 .

  • Neville Brothers -- the first Family of New Orleans Music -- Has Vowed Not to Return to New Orleans
    Dec. 15, 2005-- Cyril Neville boarded Amtrak's City of New Orleans train with a full head of steam. He joined singer-songwriter Arlo Guthrie earlier this month for the first leg of a 12-day journey from Chicago to New Orleans, playing concerts along the way to raise funds for victims of Hurricane Katrina. Neville, however, won't be on the train when it rolls into his old hometown. He won't be going home at all. Neville, 56, percussionist-vocalist and youngest member of the Neville Brothers -- the first family of New Orleans music -- has vowed not to return to New Orleans. During a heartfelt conversation before embarking on the train journey, Neville explained he and his wife, Gaynielle, have bought a home in Austin, Texas. Cyril Neville joins his nephew Ivan Neville, as well as the Radiators and the Iguanas as popular New Orleans acts who have settled in Austin. Some even perform in an ad hoc band known as the Texiles. They sing a different song about the promised recovery of New Orleans. "Would I go back to live?" Neville asked. "There's nothing there. And the situation for musicians was a joke. People thought there was a New Orleans music scene -- there wasn't. You worked two times a year: Mardi Gras and Jazz Fest. The only musicians I knew who made a living playing music in New Orleans were Kermit Ruffins and Pete Fountain. Everyone else had to have a day job or go on tour. I have worked more in two months in Austin than I worked in two years in New Orleans.

  • Love Songs Press Release
    1 THE MOST ROMANTIC SONGS RECORDED BY THE ACCLAIMED AARON NEVILLE, INCLUDING TRACKS WITH LINDA RONSTADT AND THE NEVILLE BROTHERS, COLLECTED ON NEW COMPILATION AARON NEVILLE: LOVE SONGS “With an angelic voice capable of reconciling spiritual opposites-–wisdom and innocence, masculinity and femininity, the sacred and the profane--(Aaron) Neville can pretty much find the soul of any song...(using) that famous catch in his throat to convey the exuberance of unbridled passion.” --Rolling Stone (1995) The sweet soulful voice of Aaron Neville--the most familiar figure of New Orleans’ first family of music--has been brought to bear on love songs since the late ‘60s. Now 14 of those love songs from his most successful period, the ‘80s and ‘90s, have been collected on Aaron Neville: Love Songs (A&M/UME), released January 14, 2003. With the album co-compiled by Neville himself, each digitally remastered track was selected for its power of romance rather than its chart position. As a result, Aaron Neville: Love Songs brings most of these songs, spanning the years 1981 to 1997, together for the first time on any compilation. The album is the latest in the artist-driven, genre-crossing yet thematic Love Songs series which has previously included collections from Etta James, Elton John, and Stephanie Mills and is scheduled to release albums from Diana Ross, Marvin Gaye, the Moody Blues, Peggy Lee and more. Two recordings heard on Aaron Neville: Love Songs are actually from The Neville Brothers (Aaron, Art, Charles and Cyril): their Nawlins renditions of the doo-wop classic “The Ten Commandments Of Love” and ballad standard “Mona Lisa,” both from the siblings’ 1981 Joel Dorn-produced album Fiyo On The Bayou.
