A new track by Butterfly Decal, available as a free download on our Bandcamp webpage: https://butterflydecal.bandcamp.com/track/toulouse-street-blues
Toulouse Street Blues starts with a spoken word poem about living, drinking and dreaming in London, listening to Jazz music. We then segue into a bass and organ Southern, sultry rhythm, interspersed by bursts of Blues guitar.
Over archives photos documenting the people and places of New Orleans, some local musicians share their memories and express their feelings about the magic and power of Jazz.
Niall and I wish to extend our warmest thanks to the following people who responded immediately and graciously to our requests for help.
