My New Orleans
04/16/2021
NEW ORLEANS (press release) – As we await the joyous return of live music at Preservation Hall, please join for Round Midnight Preserves 2021 a free, two-night livestream and fundraiser concert, live from 726 St. Peter St. – featuring the Preservation Hall Jazz Band with Durand Jones and the Indications, and Ivan Neville.
Durand Jones and the Indications, helmed by vocalists in Durand Jones and drummer Aaron Frazer, conjure the dynamism of Jackie Wilson, Curtis Mayfield, AND the Impressions. An aesthetic steeped in the golden, strings-infused dreaminess of early ‘70s soul, the Indications are planted firmly in the present, with the urgency of this moment in time.
This week during New Tunes at Two, we’ll check out new music from Langhorne Slim, Aaron Frazer, Delvon Lamarr Organ Trio, and Brighter Days Ahead. Join us Monday through Thursday during the 2pm hour as we enjoy new tunes together.
Monday, our feature disc will be Langhorne Slim’s album
Strawberry Mansion, which is a collection of 18 songs written in March, April and May of 2020. He describes that time as, “The beginning of a new world. The unraveling of an old one.” Strawberry Mansion is the neighborhood in Philly where his grandfathers grew up. He shares, “It’s become a place of myths for me. A place that’s dirty but sweet, tough but full of love.”

I’m so tied on the extra innings thing. On one hand, I hate it for pretty much all the reasons Ben stated. Having this tense and close game for 9 innings, only to fundamentally change how run scoring works immediately in the 10th….that’s not real baseball to me. It sort of demeans the effort both teams have put in to keep the game as close as they possibly can.
