A unique orchestration that ushered in a renewed affirmation of historicity between jazz and the culture from which it sprang, an affirmation that has long been overdue in New Orleans, and I would venture to say, the South and the rest of America. Irvin Mayfield's first release with the New Orleans Jazz Orchestra.

Released: 2005
