These classic early New Orleans' R&B Instro's, featuring ten of the Crescent City's most celebrated, influential artists, present an eclectic selection of hits, flips, misses and rarities. They range from household names like pianist Fats Domino to sidemen/sessionmen like bassist Lloyd Lambert. Trumpeter/bandleader/arranger/songwriter Dave Bartholomew also appears here incognito, as The Royal Kings. In the brass section we have tenor saxophonist Lee 'Walkin' With Mr Lee' Allen and saxophonist/arranger/producer Alvin InchRedInch Tyler, the latter another session giant. As well as Fats, we feature pianists Professor Longhair and pianist/bandleader Paul Gayten, whose band play on most of these sides. Guitarist/arranger/bandleader Edgar Blanchard was arguably N'Awlins' finest axeman, although Roy Montrell, guitarist in Fats Domino's band, ran him close. Finally, the multi-instrumental pianist/guitarist/bassist/producer/arranger genius of Mac Rebennack features as himself, and in disguise, as InchGene & Al's SpacemenInch.
![Adams,Johnny / Dorsey,Lee - Rhythm N Blues In New Orleans 1959-1961 - COMPACT DISCS [CD]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/2f80a7d4-10ff-44b7-9f81-65bdf7b0a393.jpg;maxHeight=422;maxWidth=264?format=webp)
Collected here are 31 of the earliest recordings by two of New Orleans greatest male singers who in their own right were very different of course, despite both being born in the same city. Johnny Adams took his music very seriously and recording a string of heartfelt ballads and blues until his death. Lee Dorsey on the other hand presented a string of light hearted pop songs which were equally imbued with sound of New Orleans R&B. Both artists are equally important in the history of New Orleans soul, R&B and blues music and are unlikely to ever be forgotten. Includes Johnny's hit, InchA Losing BattleInch and two of Lee Dorsey's greatest hits, InchDo-Re-MiInch and InchYa YaInch. Get serious with Johnny Adams and then have some fun with Lee Dorsey.
