Synopsis

The book chronicles the course of music evolution in New Orleans post-World War II from jazz to primarily rhythm and blues as well as rock and roll and avant-garde jazz.[1][2] It presents a historical accounting along with cultural influences that morphed the New Orleans sound, such as Mardi Gras Indians, Caribbean influences, musical families, generational continuity, iconic individuals, clubs and recording studios.[1][3] The first edition published in 1986 consists of nineteen chapters categorized under four headings:

  • Origins of New Orleans rhythm-and-blues
  • The flush years, 1954-1963
  • Struggling out of the sixties
  • The Caribbean connection

A second edition published in 2009 has additional content, including the Hurricane Katrina devastation and subsequent efforts to restore the music community.[3][4] The book is not all encompassing in term of genres, and transformations in traditional jazz, Dixieland and gospel are intentionally left out by the authors.[1]

Reception

Gary Giddins of Los Angeles Times wrote, the authors "show how subsequent generations of New Orleans musicians helped spark the postwar phenomena of rhythm and blues, rock 'n' roll, and even avant-garde jazz," and said the book "makes a worthy contribution in demystifying the still vibrant music of New Orleans."[1] Kenan Torrans of The Washington Times wrote, the "personal interview" and "interwoven stories of various New Orleans neighborhoods, nightclubs, bars and other historic music venues (...) give the reader a very real sense of life in the Big Easy."[5]
