Clambake on Bourbon Street

Polished off with a saucy French Creole chorus, Queen Mother of the Rue Royale Ms. Lizzie Miles treats you to the lustiest "All of Me" you'll ever hear.

Polished off with a saucy French Creole chorus, Queen Mother of the Rue Royale Ms. Lizzie Miles treats you to the lustiest "All of Me" you'll ever hear. Tony Costa of the Parisian Room Band contributes a squealing clarinet that is matched only by pianist Red Camp's dazzling finger displays. And no one can touch band leader Tony Almerico's trumpeting. But one of the most special moments here is the Louis-Armstrong type grovel that Sam DeKemel spits out on "Waffle Man Blues," interspersed with his bugling blues. All together, this is stellar Dixieland jazz.

This 1950s recording pairs the electrifying accordionist Charles Magnante with the smoldering vocalist LaVergne Smith. Accompanied lightly by banjo, Magnante's virtuosic set ranges from "Twelfth Street Rag" and the tango "La cu cumparsita" to Chopin's "Minute Waltz." Smith's set of smoky vocal and piano duos recalls the Old Absinthe House in New Orleans' French Quarter and includes classics such as "Lover Man" and "Straighten Up and Fly Right."

Legendary jazz pianist Red Camp’s Horizontal embodies the unusual harmonies he mastered through improvisation and experimentation while studying composition with the likes of Harold Morris, Miff Mole, Wild Bill Davidson, George Brunis, and Red McKenzie. Called “the Chopin of Corpus Christi” by Emory Cook of Cook Labs, Camp mixes Dixieland with blues, jazz, be-bop, and ragtime to create a sound that he hoped would be “not too cryptic nor too garrulous.” Indeed, Camp’s left-hand figurations are a lively celebration that balances “the lush and expansive with the dry and economical.”
