Professor Longhair • New Orleans Piano

Review by Bill Dahl
All 16 of Professor Longhair's Atlantic sides from 1949 and 1953 (including a handful of alternate takes) are here on one glorious disc. Longhair's work for the label was famously marvelous -- this version of "Mardi Gras in New Orleans" reeks of revelry in the streets of the French Quarter, "She Walks Right In" and "Walk Your Blues Away" ride a bedrock boogie, and "In the Night" bounces atop a parade-beat shuffle groove and hard-charging saxes.

Reseña de Bill Dahl
Los 16 temas de Professor Longhair para Atlantic de 1949 y 1953 (incluyendo un puñado de tomas alternativas) están aquí en un disco glorioso. El trabajo de Longhair para la discográfica fue famoso por su maravilla: esta versión de "Mardi Gras in New Orleans" apesta a juerga en las calles del Barrio Francés, "She Walks Right In" y "Walk Your Blues Away" se mueven en un boogie de fondo, y "In the Night" rebota sobre un ritmo de desfile y saxos de gran carga.
