Best Ebook Talking New Orleans Music: Crescent City Musicians Talk about Their Lives, Their Music, and Their City (American Made Music Series), by Burt Feintuch

In New Orleans, music screams. It honks. It blats. It wails. It purrs. It messes with time. It messes with pitch. It messes with your feet. It messes with your head. One musician leads to another; traditions overlap, intertwine, nourish each other; and everyone seems to know everyone else. From traditional jazz through rhythm and blues and rock ’n’ roll to sissy bounce, in second-line parades, from the streets to clubs and festivals, the music seems unending.

In Talking New Orleans Music, author Burt Feintuch has pursued a decades-long fascination with the music of this singular city. Thinking about the devastation―not only material but also cultural―caused by the levees breaking in 2005, he began a series of conversations with master New Orleans musicians, talking about their lives, the cultural contexts of their music, their experiences during and after Katrina, and their city. Photographer Gary Samson joined him, adding a compelling visual dimension to the book.

Here you will find intimate and revealing interviews with eleven of the city’s most celebrated musicians and culture-bearers―Soul Queen Irma Thomas, Walter “Wolfman” Washington, Charmaine Neville, John Boutté, Dr. Michael White, Deacon John Moore, Cajun bandleader Bruce Daigrepont, Zion Harmonizer Brazella Briscoe, producer Scott Billington, as well as Christie Jourdain and Janine Waters of the Original Pinettes, New Orleans’s only all-woman brass band. Feintuch’s interviews and Samson’s sixty-five color photographs create a powerful portrait of an American place like no other and its worlds of music.

Review

“Talking New Orleans Music is a compelling compendium of oral history interviews by Burt Feintuch with a cross-section of iconic New Orleans musicians (and a record producer), duly enhanced by Gary Samson’s glorious color photographs. The value of this volume inheres in the respect given by the authors to the diverse personalities and accomplishments of the respective informants―their storytelling is richly informative and entertaining and goes to the heart of what makes New Orleans culture so vibrant and tenacious.”

―Bruce Boyd Raeburn, author of New Orleans Style and the Writing of American Jazz History

“Talking New Orleans Music is a beautiful portrait of the Crescent City’s musical heritage. Burt Feintuch’s interviews and Gary Samson’s photographs graphically show how New Orleans music ‘starts in the street.’ Charmaine Neville, Walter ‘Wolfman’ Washington, Irma Thomas, and eight others speak eloquently about their lives and make this book essential reading for all who love New Orleans.”

―William Ferris, author of Give My Poor Heart Ease: Voices of the Mississippi Blues

Folklorist Burt Feintuch conducts in-depth interviews with ten noteworthy New Orleans musicians and Grammy-winning record producer Scott Billington to bring readers a full report on the state of jazz, blues, and gospel music in the post-Katrina city. Photographer Gary Samson's colorful images focus not only on the interview subjects, but also on the residents, fans, clubs, and customs of the city's remarkable music scene. The musicians share their stories, including their experiences during Katrina, in a readable and well-organized format. Musicians include Charmaine Neville of the talented Neville family; blues singer/guitarist Walter "Wolfman" Washington, who sparked the author's interest in NOLA music; Irma Thomas, "The Soul Queen of New Orleans"; gospel singer Brazella Briscoe of the historic Zion Harmonizers; and Christie Jourdain and Janine Waters of the all-female Original Pinettes Brass Band. The author's introductions to each section provide context, historical background, and humor.
