Music reviews of Funky New Orleans
Music Review: Does what it says on the tin
Rating: 4 Stars
Its funky!
Although the cover would lead you to believe this is a bona fida Dr John album, in fact its not. Orginally it was released as The Donald Harrison Band with Dr John. Makes no difference though its still great.
Tracks 2 to 8 were recorded live at Birdland in 1991 and most of the time the music reeks of New Orleans, but just occasionally some great straight ahead Jazz playing slips in (not surprising as they were playing at Birdland) such as a minute into Iko Iko when Harrison takes a great Jazz Alto Sax solo and there follows a Piano solo that clearly isn't Dr Johns. On Mamzelle Zizi Harrison goes into a Coltrane like solo over a modal vamp. So its a very interesting mix!
Its all great stuff and you'll love this if like Dr John and theres plenty of great Alto playing to justify buying this if you're a Jazz nut.
