Captured in state-of-the-art High Definition and mastered in Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound, The New Orleans Concert ignites a massive celebration of Big Easy music past and present – redolent in jazz, rolicking piano renditions, classic rhythm and blues, contemporary funk and rock & roll, all as steamy as a sweltering Delta summer’s evening. New Orlean’s legends, including Allen Toussaint, The Neville Brothers, and legendary drummer Earl Palmer, are joined by Steve Jordan, Bonnie Raitt, Keith Richards and Joss Stone to create this extroordinary musical extravaganza, reminding the world once again that New Orleans is far more than just one nation’s treasure. Additional featured artists include Aaron Neville, The Dirty Dozen Band, The Dixie Cups, Earl Palmer, Irma Thomas, Ivan Neville, Jon Cleary, Lloyd Price, Snooks Eaglin, Walter “Wolfman” Washington, and many others.
