Legends Of New Orleans

From the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival 2000

Legends Of New Orleans showcases three of the city's most celebrated musicians: Allen Toussaint, Dr. John, and The Neville Brothers. These musicians came of age along with the music scene during the heyday of R&B when the New Orleans "sound" dominated the national R&B charts. It was a sound that reverberated through recording studios from New York to Chicago; Memphis to Los Angeles. And it was in the legendary J&M Recording Studios where a series of hits were created, laying the template for the music now known as Rock and Roll

Performances from the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival 2000, including a special appearance by Bonnie Raitt, interviews, and an eyewitness account by famed producer Cosimo Matassa, provide an insight into the world of R&B at a time when the world was being changed by the music from New Orleans.
