Description

Don Vappie is New Orleans' banjo virtuoso dedicated to preserving the songs of early Louisiana Creole music and its language. An outstanding band joins him on this recording which evokes the notorious red-light district called Storyville that flourished in New Orleans in the early 1900s. Vappie revives some playful ditties with double meanings from the era - some sung in the old Creole language. Other classic jazz tunes are songs that would have been played in the parlors of the bordellos by house musicians. Fans of jazz and fans of New Orleans history alike will be entranced by this evocative collection.
