Podcast: Louisiana
Episode #15-30 | airing 7-22-15
This week we begin a two week visit to Louisiana. Our first program focuses on classic Louisiana music and a trip to The Crescent City of New Orleans. Louisiana is a melting pot of many musical traditions. This week we’ll sample some Brass Band music as well as selections from Louis Armstrong, Jelly Roll Morton and King Oliver. We’ll also hear some of the syncopated sounds of the Mardi Gras Indians and a selection of great Pop music from New Orleans.
