Biography

New Orleans is said to be a city where having a party has been elevated from a casual pastime to a way of life. Nobody understood this better than Professor Longhair, one of the pioneers of New Orleans rhythm & blues. His influence can be heard in Fats Domino, Allen Toussaint and Dr. John, among many others. Known for his unique mix of blues, jazz, calypso, ragtime, and zydeco, "Fess" (as he was… Read more in Amazon's Professor Longhair Store

2.0 out of 5 stars Not the best of 'Fess, September 10, 2007
By 
This review is from: Ball the Wall Live at Tipitina's 1978 (Audio CD)
This is the great Professor Longhair live on 10th March 1978, at the famous Tipitina's club in New Orleans. When I first bought this and played it, I was for a few minutes very confused by the strange sound. Then I realised that there was a Steel Drummer playing, which clashes badly with the Piano IMO. Supposedly it adds a caribbean flavour to proceedings, but in all honestly I'd have rather have had the conga player who used to play with Fess a lot of the time.

On the plus side all the best 'Fess numbers are included and the last 3 numbers are solo Piano (introduced by James Booker). But I have to add the sound quality on these 3 numbers is poor - the Piano is very distorted.

Certainly its a historic recording as having been to Tipatinas myself the club had a unique atmosphere but because of the unusual instrumentation and poor quality sound I would have to say this is for collectors only. Theres much better 'Fess out there to get than this.

3.0 out of 5 stars sound quality not so great, December 20, 2006

This review is from: Ball the Wall Live at Tipitina's 1978 (Audio CD)
This might be a must-have for serious Longhair collectors, but I found the recording quality is not so great, and this distracts from my enjoyment of the music. It sounds like it might have been recorded digitally (not likely in 1978), with compression artifacts audible.
