Product Description
Dixieland Hall Presents George Lewis and His New Orleans Jazz Band
George Lewis was a traditional, dedicated New Orleans musician. He played through good times and bad. He toured the US and Europe. He scraped for a living through odd jobs when engagements were sparse, but he never succumbed to playing “popular” music just for the money. As Lewis himself said:
“This is my home and my music. If I played any other way, it wouldn’t be truthful, and it wouldn’t be me.”
The diminutive clarinetist was never more creative than on this set, especially when he played his own Burgundy Street, named by his wife, and composed in a kitchen on New Orleans' St. Phillip Street.
