Echoes of the Past
At the time of writing this, two years have passed since I met two of New Orleans greatest living jazz musicians at legendary Dew Drop Hall, across Lake Pontchartrain in Mandeville.
The occasion was a farewell party for the 2010 Ken Colyer Trust French Quarter Tour Group. Along with Barry Martyn’s band, Michael White and Greg Stafford entranced the audience of ardent fans with their hypnotic performances.
In the shadow of jazz greats like Kid Ory, Bunk Johnson, Buddy Petit and Louis Armstrong, these two deeply committed musicians conjured up echoes of the past and the very best of the spirit and legacy of New Orleans.
I count it a privilege to have painted their jazz portraits which were presented to them during the April 2011 Southern Sounds New Orleans Tour.
