I’m excited to announce our new Audio Gumbo weekly feature, Throw it in the Pot.  A strictly sonic version of the website, TiitP will showcase a blend of genres all over the indie scene.  Make sure you like Audio Gumbo on Facebook for updates on downloading the podcasts! The first episode is dedicated to the sounds and culture of New Orleans.  Since it’s Fat Tuesday, today just makes sense to drop this mix.  The music in New Orleans is rich in culture and soul–jazz and blues, brass bands, second line parades, bounce music–and it all derives from the retention of African tradition, music and fellowship found in the historical Congo Square.  The tracks on this episode are wide-ranging but all reflective of a city that’s booming in the spirit of good times.  The artists featured throughout are New Orleans natives and transplants, influencers and admirers.  Enjoy and leave feedback!

Out of New Orleans comes one of the city’s most renowned and respected traditional jazz bands, Preservation Hall.  The band has teamed up with the incomparable pianist Allen Toussaint, Trombone Shorty and newly transplanted New Orleanian Yasiin Bey to bring a toe-tappin’, second-linin’ good time to a protest song.  Creative director of the Preservation Hall Jazz Band Ben Jaffe told Rolling Stone, “Yasiin’s words are brilliant. I love that it’s a protest song that makes people dance. Those are the best kind.”  “It Ain’t My Fault,” recorded at Carnegie Hall in January, will be released on St. Peter and 57th Street on Sept. 25th.

Rolling Stone holds the goods, so you can stream it there.  I found some footage from the concert, which you can check out below.

 

Thanks for tuning in

“all that we are, all that we got, make up the pieces, put it in a pot”

Not too many things compare to the feeling of hearing a good tune.  Music that evokes a myriad of emotions–whether from a low-end or a high-end–has always had a place in my consciousness.  As you’ll come to realize (hopefully *smile*), my tastes in music is ever-changing, but my love is unconditional.  “Audio Gumbo” is the brewing of all the sounds I’ve grown to care for.  If you’ve ever had good gumbo, you know it’s a mixture of many delicious ingredients, blended with love and meticulous care.  That’s what music is to me.  Hip hop, soul, funk, jazz, R&B, reggae, zydeco and all that’s slid in-between, I embrace them with understanding, openness and vulnerability.

Below, there waits a sample of the “gumbo” of many of the genres I really dig.  So, again, thanks for stopping by.  Funk it out, y’all.
