There are two or three essential books on New Orleans and this is one! ( The others would be Up From The Cradle of Jazz - currently out of print, and Jeff Hannusch's books). This is wicked featuring all the artists that feature heavily on Soul Jazz's New Orleans Funk releases plus loads more. 

    The book features such stars as Fats Domino, Ray Charles, Professor Longhair, Huey "Piano" Smith, and Little Richard. More than 100 photographs and illustrations are included, along with a complete appendix featuring a list of best-selling records produced in New Orleans!

    We recommend this book 100%!
