jeffcrom Posted February 19, 2014 Report Posted February 19, 2014 On Fat Tuesday, March 4, Real Gone Music is reissuing Professor Longhair's The Last Mardi Gras on CD; it previously has appeared only as a double LP on Atlantic. Recorded at Tipitina's during Mardi Gras 1978, it features a hot band and great versions of many of Fess's signature songs. For years, it's been one of my most-played Fess albums - I highly recommend it. And you'll get to hear the bass player start "Jambalaya" in the wrong key. Here's the Amazon link. Quote
paul secor Posted February 19, 2014 Report Posted February 19, 2014 I've had the LPs for years. Some time ago, I was almost ready to get rid of them. Jeff told me to play them loud and it made a difference in my listening. I'll have to listen again to the LPs, but I won't be going for the CD version. Quote
