New Orleans Music Madness Part 2 - EP114

Professor Longhair playing piano at Jazz Fest 1975

Today’s episode is the second of three in a row about New Orleans music.

The Historic New Orleans Collection (THNOC) recently did an online tournament where they matched New Orleans music against each other in an NCAA March Madness style bracket they called Music Madness.

People were invited to vote and they published the results online, while also linking to the launch of an online exhibit, called New Orleans Medley: Sounds of the City.

Eli Haddow and Teresa Devlin over at THNOC suggested it might be fun if I filled out my own bracket and talked about my selections. I’ve taken the challenge and will guide you through selections 17 of 32 first round selections on today’s show.

THNOC’s Music Madness playlist is available on You Tube here or you can click it below.

Use this link to skip the brackets and go straight to their online exhibit, New Orleans Medley: Sounds of the City!
