DESCRIPTION:
Drummer Gene Harding was one of the first musicians to move back to New Orleans after Katrina to help revitalize the music scene. Leading sessions at Cafe Negril, musicians would be able to reconnect with each other and know who was back in town and available to work. Gene has kept those sessions up and also has daily sessions at his place with a who's who of the New Orleans music scene. Usually the sessions start around 9am with breaks for video games and snacks. We were fortunate to be joined on this day by Mario Abney on trumpet, Gene on drums, Zé Luis on sax, Jeremy Thomas on trumpet, Thomas Grant on trombone and friends.
