Album Notes

Crescent City Rebirth (Moovealong 008) is a collection of 14 instrumental songs about New Orleans.

Like New Orleans, these are jazz songs and are based on New Orleans' famed “second line” parade rhythms. The songs are a tribute to the spirit and heritage of the Crescent City. Despite Katrina's fury and the problems that followed, New Orleans will always be a large part of the past, present, and future of America's native art form, Jazz.
