"Up from the Cradle of Jazz" is an intimate history of New
Orleans music during the last 45 years. It describes the
piano playing of Fats Domino, Professor Longhair, James
Booker, Huey "Piano" Smith and Dr John; the singing of Irma
Thomas, Little Richard, Aaron Neville and Lee Dorsey; the
compositions and performances of Allen Toussaint, Guitar
Slim, Wynton and Branford Marsalis, The Meters and The
Neville Brothers. From smoky bars and nightclubs to the open
air revelry of Mardi Gras, this work aims to be the
definitive story of the music of contemporary New Orleans.
