Astral Project
Live in New Orleans

On Live in New Orleans, Astral Project rips through a 92 minute live set at Snug Harbor, New Orleans premier jazz bistro. The DVD contains eight originals, poetry by drummer John Vidacovich and a impassioned version of Billy Strayhorns Blood Count. While the accompanying CD contains seven of the ten cuts, all tracks are available on the DVD as MP3s.
Its not an exaggeration to say that a typical night at Snug harbor with Astral Project is always a great night of jazz. Since 1978, the group of all-star players - saxophonist Tony Dagradi, drummer Johnny Vidacovich, bassist James Singleton and guitarist Steve Masakowski - has knocked out audiences around the world with its inspired, energetic and all-for-one performances. For the first time in its stellar history, Astral Project has released a live recording that captures the ensemble onstage at its Frenchmen Street musical home. Video recorders were also in the house to mark another band first, a companion DVD that was produced by Dagradis son, Dominic. The 68-minute CD and 92 minute DVD come in a set (not sold separately) and the music can be downloaded to MP3 players.
