Indian Blues

Donald Harrison Jr. distills one of the world's greatest musical experiences: The New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival. Veteran Festgoers know about those special moments when you're wandering from one stage to another and Indian Blues wraps it all up in one package and tosses it at you, like some shiny doubloon from a Mardi Gras Float. Mardi Gras Indian chants (via the Guardians of the Flame) meets jazz (via Donald Harrison and his band) meets New Orleans R&B (via Dr. John). The diverse styles embrace warmly like three New Orleans homeboys meeting on a New York street corner. Personnel includes Donald Harrison Sr., Dr. John, Cyrus Chestnut and Carl Allen.
