Biography

As a producer, bandleader, arranger, songwriter, session musician and all-around musical eminence, Allen Toussaint impacted the New Orleans music scene of the Sixties in much the same way that Dave Bartholomew had in the Fifties. Toussaint, in fact, apprenticed under Bartholomew at sessions for such legends as Fats Domino, so it was a seamless transition when the R&B baton passed between… Read more in Amazon's Allen Toussaint Store

Editorial Reviews

CD plus 20 page booklet. Although he has been the presiding genius of New Orleans R&B since the late Fifties, Allen Toussaint has made relatively few recordings under his own name. These are his first sides; they were made for RCA and Sevile in 1958-1959. Toussaint assembled a crack New Orleans band, including Red Tyler, Roy Montrell, Melvin Lastie and Hungry Williams, and led them through a program of wonderfully inventive instrumentals that includes the original version of Java and 26 other songs, like Whirlaway, Po Boy Walk, Cow Cow Blues, and Real Churchy. The roots of Sixties New Orleans R&B are here. --This text refers to an alternate Audio CD edition.

This review is from: The Wild Sound Of New Orleans: The Complete 'Tousan' Sessions (Audio CD)
A great overview of Allen's talent with many catchy jazz tunes. I've heard of him in the past, but never had an album. This will be excellent for background listening at a gathering of friends!
