A Twenty Month Old Experiences Jazz & Heritage

The son of a dear friend, a well know writer about jazz:

Trombonist Glen David Andrews held me before taking the Congo Square stage. John Boutté sang me an a cappella version of Paul Simon's “American Tune,” and then I fell gently asleep. The rains came down hard, but there were plenty of toy trains in the kid's tent, so all good. I learned how to say, “Who Dat?”

  1. GDA put out a fantastic live gospel CD last year. Many clips from it on youtube. Boutte's rendition of "American Tune" is A Stew Called New Orleans, the album he and Paul Sanchez released last year.
