New Orleans rhythm and blues refers to a type of R&B music from the U.S. city of New Orleans, Louisiana, characterized by extensive use of piano and horn sections, complex syncopated "second line" rhythms, and lyrics that reflect New Orleans life.

Distinct innovation and creativity, in combination with a musicality unique to the New Orleans area distinguish this sub-genre. It was also a major influence on ska and reggae, the former being a local variation on New Orleans R&B and jazz, such as the Fats Domino song "Be My Guest".

I, subsequently realized that YouTube was allowing those who had "followed the community rules" to upload much longer videos. Thus, I am now uploading the entire concert. Note: In NO WAY do I intend to infringe upon anyone's copyright of this video. It is my firm belief that "sharing" - ie, letting someone VIEW my own content - does NOT infringe upon any copyright. Sharing it via a link to DOWNLOAD it clearly WOULD violate copyright. Still, copyright questions may come into focus simply because software exists that ENABLE YouTube to be "crawled" and, thus, videos to be "captured" from their site. So my not offering a direct download link may not be determinative - to YouTube OR the courts. ON THE OTHER HAND, being able to see the concert here SHOULD make many feel a need to order the DVD to view on their television screen. And I would gladly post a link here for others to purchase it! Thus, I believe I am in the clear. YouTube may not agree and may remove it. If they do, I probably won't challenge it and just not "skirt the line" on future uploads. But I AM the type of person who will push the limits. I NEVER intend to do anything illegal, but ... if there is a question... I tend to push on until there is a definitive answer... I DID receive the following message from YouTube pertaining to "Part 2" of the segments of this video that I uploaded: Dear Servant2All, Your video <b>...</b>

2.80 min. | 4.55 user rating		 Allen Toussaint è un maestro venerato della scena musicale di New Orleans, che lo ha visto protagonista nell'arco di quasi cinquant'anni di carriera in tutti i ruoli possibili: cantante, autore di canzoni di successo, raffinato pianista, arrangiatore e produttore, in quel labile confine in cui si fondono rhythm'n blues, barrelhouse boogie, jazz, soul, gospel ed in definitiva tutte le vie d'acqua del Grande Delta del blues. Ed è proprio lo spirito del blues nella sua accezione più ampia e profonda l'oggetto di questo ambizioso lavoro nel quale l'artista torna alle radici della propria cultura. Allen Toussaint, classe 1938, dall'alto della sua ormai consumata esperienza va a rivisitare senza alcun timore reverenziale alcuni classici della musica afroamericana, confrontandosi, da pari a pari oserei dire, con giganti del calibro di Sydney Bechet, Jelly Roll Morton, King Oliver, Duke Ellington & Billy Strayhorn, Django Reinhardt e Thelonious Monk. Si tratta di classici che farebbero tremare i polsi a chiunque, ma in questo caso la materia è in mano ad un musicista che ha avuto la capacità e l'intelligenza di circondarsi di alcuni giovani più che affermati, avvalendosi dell'apporto del produttore Joe Henry, già artefice dell'ottimo "The River In Reverse" realizzato nel 2006 in coppia con Elvis Costello. Il risultato è un disco eccellente, privo di orpelli, che non ha nulla di nostalgico o revivalistico, con interpretazioni che vanno dritto alla profondità ed al significato di <b>...</b>
