Dr. John was a true New Orleans institution, a keyboardist and vocalist whose blend of funk, soul, and R&B earned him international acclaim. He was a chameleon of American music, a producer and sideman who became a singular artist in his own right. This album, "Big Band Voodoo," arrived late in his career, finding him returning to a more horn-driven sound that recalled his earliest work.
