Here is the ultimate New Orleans second line collection, with tracks from both generations of the hottest brass bands in New Orleans today -- Harold Dejan's relatively traditional Olympia band is from the older generation, the Dirty Dozen and most of the rest are from the younger generation, including exemplary early ReBirth reordings. (For the uninitiated, the second line is the group of partying parade-goers that dance through the streets following the brass bands; it's also the name of that special quality of New Orleans groove that these bands have in common.) This album is a Mardi Gras party looking for a place to happen. (The cassette is Rounder 2062.)
