Notes

This four song EP was recorded in the depths of a sweltering New Orleans summer. The songs and tempos featured here should call to mind an easy stroll along the levee, a tall iced tea, an old shade tree, a yearning for love.

The album features a vocal from each of the singers in the band, and also a classic Sidney Bechet clarinet feature.
