Keeping with the New Orleans theme from yesterday and put on the Dirty Dozen Brass Band and their album "My Feet Can't Fail Me Now". I love that song and have several versions of it but I like this one for its fast and loose style and amazing brass solos in it. This album is their first studio album and includes many favorites. They were one of the first New Orleans brass bands to bring in funk and bebop to their performances and as a result began a resurgence in the classic New Orleans brass band style. That has influenced a lot of other more recent brass bands including another favorite of mine the Hot 8 Brass Band.
