New Orleans Remix

Since the 1990s, New Orleans has been experiencing its greatest musical renaissance since Louis Armstrong. Brass band, funk, hip hop, Mardi Gras Indian, zydeco, and other styles are rocking the city. Jack Sullivan shines a light on superb artists little known to the general public, a surge of female, Asian, and other previously marginalized groups, and artists who have broken into the national spotlight.
