Description

Milenberg was a town on the southern shore of Lake Pontchartrain in Louisiana that was absorbed into the city of New Orleans. Important in the early development of jazz. Bands from different parts of the city and across racial lines would listen to each other and try to outdo each other here.

“An absorbing selection of refined choices and inspirational highlights. Marvellous."

Keith Ames
The Musician (MU)
