Professor Longhair/LA,USA 1979

Professor Longhair, a New Orleans giant who influenced Allen Toussaint, Dr. John, and the Meters, has come down with a superb live performance with a unique style and unique vocals that mix blues, rumba, and calypso, backed by the Blues Scholars, a skilled group representing New Orleans, and a superb live performance approaching funky with a superb high-quality sound board! ! This work is about half a year before his sudden death, about the largest music festival in New Orleans, the Professor’s last stage and almost the last legendary concert at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival on May 6, 1979, which the Professor also appeared every year since his revival in 1971. This god item has been completely recorded up to the encore with the superb high-quality sound that has been carefully mastered by the label! ! First, the extremely groovy The Blues Scholars play one song, and finally the Professor descends! You can enjoy the full-length performance that perfectly combines the unique piano style that mixes rumba, mambo, and calypso, the unique vocals, and the funky performance of Scholars. The live performance recorded at the largest festival in New Orleans, the hometown, creates a superb mood with the master’s generous and silver-smoked playing, and the piano that seems to be played lightly but has a solid attack, and the groove of the funky Scholars that is simple and does not increase the number of sounds, is the essence of New Orleans, and the unique melancholy also brings a rich depth to the sound itself. From the famous songs “Tipitina”, “Big Chief”, “Go to Mardi Gras”, to “Got My Mojo Working”, it teaches you the essence of good-humored New Orleans music! !
