DESCRIPTION:
The first show of Don Paul's 'Spiritual: New Orleans' Music and the World' on Let's Live Radio was one of fine music and many laughs. He interviewed three illustrious guests: the path-making composer, improviser and educator Kidd Jordan and Roger Lewis and Kirk Joseph of the Dirty Dozen Brass Band.

The entire, two-hour-long show includes many tracks by KIdd and the DDBB as well as tracks by Toots and the Maytals, Van Morrison, Zelia Barbosa, Cyril Neville, Hamid Drake and William Parker, and Galactic with Juvenile. Here is the Timeline for the first 30 minutes on youtube. Thanks in particular to Kelly Roberts for her editing and to Roslyn Nocentelli Flot for Let's Live Radio and the video doctor, Tim Watson!
