Description
Summary:In other parts of the country, people attempt to categorize the music: gospel, blues, jazz. So, black people created benevolent societies that provided services to the black community. A few years back, I published on the cover of Callaloo one of Harold Baquet's painted photographs of a brass band performing a jazz funeral.

On a Sunday afternoon, we hire classic New Orleans jazz bands, the best in town, and offer a free show.
