Jazz musicians have been migrating to New Orleans from Europe since Ken Colyer jumped ship in 1951. Many stayed a year or two, others settled permanently. Clarinetist Dennis Browne didn't have the opportunity - he packed up and moved to New Orleans only to learn he was terminally ill. He made a great many friends during his foreshortened time in New Orleans, and this charming CD was made with a group of like-minded friends. Theband includes Jamie Wight, cornet; Mike Owen, trombone; Lars Edegran, piano; Neil Unterseher, guitar; Bernie Attridge, bass; and Trevor Richards, drums.
