Synopsis

Amazon.com
The lineup of this nationally televised concert, organized by Wynton Marsalis at Jazz at Lincoln Center, ranged from the gospel queen Shirley Caesar to the quiet wunderkind Norah Jones. But the night belonged to the Big Easy?s brethren, including the crawfish cadences of Buckwheat Zydeco's "I'm Going to Love You Anyway" and the second line strut of Art and Aaron Neville's "Go to the Mardi Gras." Trumpeter Irvin Mayfield's tearful "Just a Closer Walk with Thee" was dedicated to his missing father. The Jordan family: flutist Kent, violinist Rachel, vocalist Stephanie, and trumpeter Marlon--who was trapped for days on a roof--performed a heartfelt, affirmative rendition of "Here's to Life." Without the Crescent City, American music as we know it does not exist. If enough of you buy this CD, we won't "Know What it Means To Miss New Orleans." --Eugene Holley, Jr.

This is Louisians music at its best. I moved away from LA many years ago and this feels good. Great CD

Why is this missing Elvis Costello & Allen Toussaint's movin
B. Margolis | Minneapolis, MN United States | 12/04/2005
(3 out of 5 stars)

"Towards the end of this amazing PBS concert, Elvis Costello sang Allen Toussaint's amazing obscure song "Freedom For The Stallion" featuring Mr. Toussaint himself on piano.



It was, on my opinion, one of the most spellbinding performances I have ever seen in television.



It's amazing that this priceless performance was left off this new CD collection.

Disappointed
H. Floyd | Great Falls, VA | 12/05/2005
(4 out of 5 stars)

"I watched this program in it's entirety when it aired live on PBS and was thrilled by the incredible lineup of wonderful performers who gave equally wonderful performances! However, many of the night's most breathtaking performances were left off this CD completely! Wynton Marsalis' opening with "A'in no" ...Peter Cincotti's original "Bring Back New Orleans"...the list goes on. I must say I'm disappointed to see that so many stellar performances were not included and I'm puzzled as to why!"
