A Music Map of New Orleans Lives - with Creole Jazz Singer John Boutté

It’s a sonic map of New Orleans music from the recording studios and nightclubs to jazz parades. Songs about life on Basin Street and Bourbon Street, to Rampart Street and the lady from la rue Dauphine in the voices of Trombone Shorty, Louis Armstrong, Billie Holiday, Ida Cox and Louis Prima. Then, a live session at Marigny Studios with Creole jazz and soul singer John Boutté who grew up in the Tremé neighborhood in a family of ten kids, where singing was a household and street corner pastime.

GATEMOUTH MOORE / RY COODER

August 3rd, 2005

Two men who embody eclecticism in the music they play and love. First, an in-depth discussion with guitarist and producer Ry Cooder, from his California roots in American blues, country and rock, to his forays into Tex-Mex, African, and East Indian music, his many film soundtracks, and his work in Cuba with the Buena Vista Social Club and guitarist Manuel Galban. Also we’ll remember the late blues and gospel singer Gatemouth Moore, who began performing with the Rabbit Foot Minstrels in the 1920s and preached at his church in Yazoo City, Mississippi. Plus the American Routes music mix we hope you seek… each week.
