I’m a little disappointed I only got to see the good doctor one time. This was a great show, I enjoyed very much seeing two bands at the core of the New Orleans jazz and funk music that’s been such a big influence on the bands and musicians covered in this concert blog.

I was glad Dr. John played several selections from the Duke Elegant album, a tribute album covering music by Duke Ellington - and one of my favorites albums of this era. Just a little while later Joe Jackson would cover the same territory with his “Duke” album, equally outstanding material to students and fans of the great master of American jazz, the Duke.
