CD Baby: ADRIAN DUKE: Live In New Orleans Drenched with the sounds of New Orleans, Adrian Duke's piano is overshadowed only by the raw emotional power of his voice.

Down South in Dixie (1917: All That Jazz) The Chronicle of Jazz Abbeville Press Firmly based on the sectionalized structure and syncopated march rhythms of ragtime, with increasing use of the twelve-bar blues progression, the New Orleans ensemble style is correctly termed "Dixieland" only when performed by white groups (the term derives from the nickname "Dixie," used to describe the southern secessionist states in the Civil War). White groups were generally less adept at handling improvisation, blue notes and swung rhythm than their black counterparts, although the New Orleans Rhythm Kings (who made recordings in 1922-25) represented a tangible improvement on the primitive idiom of the Original Dixieland Jazz Band. The melodic embellishments were supported by a rhythm section--a bass instrument (tuba or double bass), harmony instrument (banjo, guitar or piano) and simple drum kit (typical bass drum, side drum and suspended cymbal). www.abbeville.com /jazz/037.asp   (376 words)

Hip Hop Christian Music Southern Gospel was a frontal invasion from New Orleans, and the music companies, and various pagan song writers, brought the STRIDE piano boldly into it. He played the old upright, which I had tuned-- a piano with a great voice-- and this guy would play the STRIDE Henry Slaughter style, and he would turn and grin at the audience regularly like he was being naughty and enjoying it. It was only played on the piano with only a bass and subdued trap set at the most, but usually nothing but the piano. www.balaams-ass.com /journal/housechu/hip-hop.htm   (12052 words)

New Orleans Piano Giants Past and Present (by Tom McDermott) By his twenties, he had composed piano music that reflected his New Orleans upbringing; the Latinate rhythms and rolling right-hand figures one associates with later New Orleans keyboardmen are present in his music a century before Professor Longhair.
