Notes
From New Orleans comes singer-songwriter-guitarist Jeremy Joyce recalling the vintage sounds of jazz, funk, blues, and standard pop, with Street Poet. The album was produced by Grammy-nominated Mike Harvey (Hot 8 Brass Band, The Wild Magnolias, Samantha Fish) over at his NOLA Recording Studio. The two captured the various sounds of the Crescent City that have seeped into his blood since moving there eight years ago.
“What makes New Orleans great is you can break all the musical rules,” says Jeremy. “No one looks at you sideways if you are writing out of four or five different traditions,” he says. Indeed, one glance at the songs sung or written by Allen Toussaint, Aaron Neville, and Dr. John provides ready evidence of the Crescent City’s long obsession with mixing musical traditions. Players on the album are a mix of local musicians from street to seasoned session players, along with guests Scott Graves (Samantha Fish) and Ghalia Volt. Special horn arrangements from Alex Geddes from Durand Jones give it that New Orleans authenticity.
