[from New Orleans] amazing street
band that drew a bigger crowd than was seemingly in all of the clubs lining
Frenchmen St. – they played a hard jazz, a punk jazz, or a free style jazz that
was still incredibly listenable and danceable – was immeasurably more
interesting to me than that old played out same-style jazz you hear all over
New Orleans, but they told us that the clubs won’t hire them to play - maybe
because they’re clearly from the poorer parts of New Orleans – it amused me
that in New Orleans, it’s cool, even for street kids, to play band-geek
instruments like the trumpet and trombone
