Sounds of New Orleans: Vieux Carre' (The French Quarter)
Mystery Street Records, an affiliate of the fan-funded Threadhead Records, is pleased to release the second in a series of compilation CDs that explores the phenomenally eclectic music of New Orleans, present and past. The French Quarter is much more than beads, booze and Bourbon Street. It is the place where literary giants Ernest Hemingway and Wiliam Faulkner found inspiration among the ornate ironwork, peeling paint and foot-worn streets and where early music pioneers like Buddy Bolden and Jelly Roll Morton incoporated the often heard multicultural musical styles into a new sound, dubbed “Jazz”, and perfected it in the French Quarter bars and strip joints of the early 20th century. It’s the place where, in a small room in the back of his shop, recording engineer Cosimo Matassa, along with local musicians Fats Domino, Dave Bartholomew and others, began crafting the music now known as Rock ‘n Roll.
