YEAH ! A BRAND NEW FUNK SHUI SPECIAL ! ! ! AND THIS TIME IT IS ALL ABOUT THE MUSIC OF THE CRESCENT CITY ! ! ! NEW ORLEANS ! ! !
DJZIGZAG AND SUNNY SWEET DADDY FONK BRING YOU THE SOUNDS OF THEIR YOUTH.
THIS (MORE THAN ANY OTHER) WAS THE GENRE OF RHYTHM 'N' BLUES MOST INFLUENTIAL ON VANCOUVER CANADA'S
EAST END MUSICAL STARS . . .
- SINGER/PIANIST AL "MR BIG" FOREMAN,
SAXOPHONISTS FREDDY CARATENUTO & LARRY VOLEN, THE NIGHT TRAIN REVUE,
SY RISBY, LITTLE DADDY & THE BACHELORS,
HARRY WALKER, BILLY DIXON, AND KENTISH STEELE (TO NAME A FEW).
SEVENTY-EIGHT-PLUS MINUTES OF 1960's ROLLICKING PIANO, SHUFFLING DRUMS AND RIFFING HORNS - SO ASSOCIATED WITH THE MYSTICAL CITY ON THE BANKS OF THE MIGHTY MISSISSIPPI.
AND MOST OF OUR HOSTS' HEROES ARE REPRESENTED - EDDIE BO, ERNIE K-DOE, JESSIE HILL, CHRIS KENNER, HUEY 'PIANO' SMITH & THE CLOWNS, EARL KING, AARON NEVILLE, BENNY SPELLMAN AND SO MANY, MANY MORE.
GLARINGLY ABSENT ARE A FEW NEW ORLEANS MUSICAL GIANTS (LIKE THE FAT MAN HIMSELF) BUT THAT WILL BE RECTIFIED WHEN 'CRESCENT CITY SPECIAL PART TWO' MAKES ITS APPEARANCE IN 2010. AND WHO KNOWS, THERE COULD BE A FATS DOMINO 'LEGACIES' SPECIAL WITH SWEET DADDY WONG AND ZIGZAGZ IN THE NEAR FUTURE.
