Professor Longhair - Mardi Gras In New Orleans (Live 1975 Recording) flac album

Mardi Gras in New Orleans: Live 1975 Recording (1982) (also known as Live in Germany). House Party New Orleans Style: The Lost Sessions 1971–1972 (1987).

Professor Longhair can be considered as the creator of the New Orleans Rhythm & Blues. Musically active from 1949 to 1964, he made a comeback in the early 1970s. Inducted into Rock And Roll Hall of Fame in 1992 (Early Influence).

The live album by New Orleans blues giant Professor Longhair that was recorded at the release party for Paul McCartney and Wings’ Venus and Mars will be reissued on 5 April.

Recorded by the infamous Albert Goldman (of The Lives of John Lennon fame), The Last Mardi Gras is a phenomenal document of Professor Longhair's talents. The sound quality is impressive, but what truly puts the show over is Longhair's energy. Even at 59 years old, he still sounds as feisty as ever, unleashing torrents of piano grooves on "Mess Around," wailing mournfully on "Everyday (I Have the Blues)," and delivering one of the wildest versions of "Got My Mojo Working" ever performed. The Last Mardi Gras is as definitive a Professor Longhair album as any compilation.
