Notes
Recorded when Ernest “Doc” Paulin was almost seventy-four years old, this album provides a glimpse into the musical life of a New Orleans marching band. The ensemble’s blues-influenced repertoire includes traditional march tunes, spirituals, and pop standards, played with what New Orleans musicians call “lots of tone”—with overblown horns, and of course, at high volume!
