Hi everyone,
What music could be related to New Orleans ?
I need as large a scope as possible, like : there are aligators there, so 'Crokodile Rock' could fit 
You see : very large...
Thanks

Where to start? The field is so large.
1. Begin at the beginning. Louis Armstrong. King Oliver. Canal Street Blues, West End Blues.
2. Classic R&B. Fats Domino. Professor Longhair. Huey Piano Smith.
3. Brass bands! Dirty Dozen, Treme Brass Band, Rebirth Brass Band.
4. Inheritors of the beat, old and new: Little Feat from the 1970s (if you can play Saints you can play Dixie Chicken); Trombone Shorty; Kermit Ruffins.
There are a lot of trad jazz revivalists who may not play "New Orleans music" per se, but who are based in New Orleans and absolutely kill it...Tube Skinny, Shotgun Jazz Band, etc.
Yes, there are a lot of alligators in Louisiana, but NOLA, not so much. |

In the mid-Fifties the established New Orleans trumpet players were Al Hirt - relatively unknown outside of N.O. at the time who was working a "day job" besides playing trumpet, Alvin Alcorn - legendary cornetist at the"'Dream Room" on Bourbon St., Tony Almerico at the "Paddock" above the "Famous Door" where New Orleans jazz in it's purist form was played. There was Sharkey Bonano ("Old Sharkey had a fat sound, man. He could blow like wild fire and when he played, I am telling you, the whole place would stop dead-away and listen" Al Hirt) , and George Girard who was holding court at the "Famous Door" who tragically died at 27 years old who was not only an outstanding jazz player but had exceptional stage presence as a singer and entertainer and had he lived would have achieved the commercial acclaim of performers like Louis Prima and Al Hirt. And Roy Liberto was very active. Starting out was a very young trumpet virtuoso Warren Luening who later became a very successful studio musician in Calif. and Louis Prima at his "500 Club" on Bourbon St. across the street from the "Dream Room", just two blocks south were the famous "Court of Two Sisters and Pat O'Brian's.
Joe Mares, the brother of Paul Mares who had played trumpet with the Famous New Orleans Rhythm Kings was very active on the N.O music scene and was in the produce business and had a large warehouse on St. Louis Street, he built a recording studio in the middle of the building where he recorded many of the fine, local jazz players for his "Southland" record label. Joe held "New Orleans Crab Boil" dinners for the musicians. at these dinners Al Hirt proved that he was not only a great player, but a good eater as well. It's wasn't long after this that Al Hirt and Pete Fountain started their stints with the Lawrence Welk Band on TV, and the rest is history.
