Duke Dejan(RIP)You're Still 'The Piran'(Dat's Godfather in Creole)., November 8, 2007
This review is from: Preservation Hall Hot 4 With Duke Dejan (Audio CD)
Duke Dejan is one of many special musicians,I never heard of before I picked up this excellent Preservation Hall cd,inspired by the then 88 year-old singer/saxophonist and former leader of New Orleans' Olympia Brass Band.In this cd,his character comes through in his Creole-accented English; in the liner notes to the cd,most of us will pick up a new word,"piran" or Godfather,which is how Dejan referred to himself to bass player Benjamin Jaffe,whose family runs Preservation Hall.The cd which kicks off with 'Corinna,Corinna' includes some beautiful soloing(I'm partial to trumpeter Wendell Brunious.But this one's for Duke Dejan;RIP.It's his heart.
