New Orleans music has a rich history. Whether you’re in town for Mardi Gras, or seeking authentic jazz performances, it’s the gift that keeps on giving. Toussaint would be the looming presence in New Orleans music for the next two decades and then some. The songs he wrote and produced for a roll-call of artists including Irma Thomas, Jesse Hill, Ernie K-Doe and Lee Dorsey, among others, sported a characteristic swing and elegance. Oddly, though, the first hit that he wrote and produced, ‘Over You’, for Aaron Neville in 1960, had a different mood entirely. Toussaint pictured Neville as a proto-gangster character threatening revenge if his gal strayed. Two of the city’s beloved instrumentalists, trumpeter Al Hirt and clarinettist Pete Fountain, had clubs on Bourbon and, when they weren’t charming middle America on television, played into the night. The hippie freaks were in the mix too.

Al Hirt, the portly Dixieland jazz trumpeter who was a symbol of the exuberant laissez-faire way of life of New Orleans, died yesterday at home in New Orleans. He was 76. Mr. Hirt had been hospitalized until last week at East Jefferson General Hospital in Metairie, L. with liver ailments, Peggy Stegman, his personal assistant, said. He had used a wheelchair for the last year because of edema in his leg, she said. One of the nation's most recognizable performers in the 1960's, Mr. Hirt recorded 55 albums in his career and won a Grammy award in 1963 for the song ''Java. He started his own band in 1950 and a combo with Mr. Fountain in 1955. In 1960, he signed with RCA Records, which released his first album the following year. His most popular albums included ''Greatest Horn,'' ''He's the King'' and ''Bourbon Street. He also had a pop single hit with ''Cotton Candy.
