Images of New Orleans Musicians

Scads of wonderful musicians have come out of New Orleans over the years. Below are images of some of my personal favorites. Most of them I've been lucky enough to see perform, some many times. All of them still perform regularly, with the exception of the late Professor Longhair. Some you can see only in New Orleans, usually in small, dark, smoky, sweaty clubs long after midnight; others tour widely performing in venues large and small. Go to see any of them if you should have a chance--a great time is guaranteed.
