@008 Dr. James was written by Henry Butler. The two-handed vamp which forms the basis of this driving tune is typical of James Booker's style. It combines elements of the Latin montuno, swing, and gospel. The montuno element is its rhythmic and harmonic repetitiveness; the swing element is the rhythmic feel, and the gospel element is the underlying IV-I relationship of the alternating chords, embellished with the use of the bIII chord. The bridge is closer to pure Butler, however, and the improvised section is a very dense example of Henry's New Orleans piano style unleashed. This is a tribute to James Booker, who has influenced every modern blues and folk pianist coming from New Orleans. He had technique and lyricism as well as good rhythmic chops. " I worked opposite James Booker in double bills at Tyler's, Lu and Charlie's and the Toulouse St. Theater from 1975-9 (Henry Butler) ". Performed by: Henry Butler. Picture Of : James Booker.
@009 The Entertainer is the familiar rag written by Scott Joplin. New Orleans pianists have always enjoyed playing ragtime in New Orleans style. Here, after a deceptive introduction, melody and improv remain side by side throughout the four-strain piece. Pure fun. Henry Butler first published this arrangement on the Village CD (MCA impulse, 1987). "I didn't like the original composition (from 1902) that much; but the tune is so widely requestedùsince it was the theme music to The Stingùthat I felt I had to come up with my own arrangement, and so I place 30 years ahead of its time in the stride style, and I've always played it like that. The intro is deliberately misleading. (Henry Butler) " Performed by: Henry Butler. Picture Of : Fats Waller.

@028 Go Ahead, Baby is a tune that Jon Cleary wrote in London "whilst feeling homesick for a kind of melodic and rhythmic flavour you don't seem to find outside of New Orleans. (Jon Cleary) " It is light hearted, a little melancholy with quite a bouncy rhythm that you can dance to. It's a "funk" tune in the New Orleans sense of the word, the first bridge having the I/V/I bass line that could almost be country and western if it weren't for the syncopation of the [virtual] drums behind it. It has that good time/old time atmosphere ( which is why Jon chose it as the first tune on his first album ). Performed by Jon Cleary Picture of : Jon Cleary.

@048 Rebennackin' written by Tom McDermott. A challenging piece featuring walking broken octaves in the bass, and charming modulations." This is my attempt to compose a piece in the Dr. John (Mac Rebennack) style, with his rumbling bass and ever-engaging chromaticism. (Tom McDermott.)" The first progression - from B-flat to G7 to E7 - explores diminished-pattern root movement in a way that Doc and James Booker (check out his tune "Classified") sometimes do. Performed by Tom McDermott. Picture of :Tom McDermott.

@058 St. James Infirmary is a traditional piece. Originally written as a dirge-ballad, this tune has been played in many different tempos, as Torkanowsky illustrates here. The importance of the dirge to the culture of New Orleans reminds one of that venerable New Orleans institution, the jazz funeral, in which the band played slowly on the way to the cemetery and up tempo on the way back to the reception at a local bar, where, as Morton informs us, musicians were assured of getting a square meal. Listen for the bass melody during an entire chorus, which leads into the Booker-style romp. In this version Torkanowsky plays an additional right-hand track, full of breakneck lines and spicy embellishments. You may listened to the tune in either the two- or three-handed version. This hospital used to be located on Rampart St. during the time of Storyville. The words tell of the death of a young girl as told by her lover. Performed by David Torkanowsky. Picture of :Jelly Roll Morton.
