It's been a long time since I heard this style of jazz in Barcelona and in particular a Distinct musical voice.

I scurried quickly for I had to see if it was THEM ... the New Orleans Ragamuffins.



I wrote a post about the group in 2006. Here's the link:

But, alas, they were not THEM.

The fella on the right facing you is or was a member of that band and it's his unusual voice with a distinct megaphone nasality that I remember.

I don't know anything of this group other than they played well.

So well, in fact,

As I was taking a photo a girl passed smiling, dancing, swaying and walking all the while on a mobile phone.

She pleased me.
