A fresh acoustic sound, striking three-part harmonies and strong original material have made Montreal-based trio Steel Rail a fan and critical favorite across Canada and the U.S. northeast.
To celebrate Mardi Gras and Black History Month, this edition of Brass, Reeds, and Percussion features remastered Dixieland recordings from the 1920s and 1930s. Robert Parker, an Australian sound engineer, has processed and remastered a number of old 78-rpm recordings so that they almost sound like modern recordings. Regardless, the fidelity is tremendously improved. We will have a number of selections from his compact disc entitled \“New Orleans: Jazz Classics in Digital Stereo.\” Today, you will hear at least two original recordings by the 1930s reincarnation of the New Orleans Rhythm Kings, one of the few jazz bands known by their initials: N.O.R.K. The other is the Original Dixieland Jazz Band: O.D.J.B.

It’s been a few decades or more since I’ve heard anyone nail Taj Mahal’s “Cakewalk Into Town,” but I had the supreme pleasure of just that when I sat down to listen to Boulder’s one and only Voodoo Lily play at the beautiful St Julien, last month. An eclectic blend of Gypsy Jazz, New Orleans Blues and more, Voodoo packs passion and fun into their music as evidenced by all the smiling dancing couples, and kids joyfully bouncing around the room like pogo sticks! Check the Band out next in Lyons at the Diner Bar on 05/19!
