“Putumayo presents: New Orleans” (2005) provides a nice introduction and a pretty good mix of the classic and the contemporary. The music remains, despite its era or performer, fully of the New Orleans style.

Household names like Louis Prima, Louis Armstrong and Dr. John do their version of some Crescent City classics. Local favorites like trumpeter Kermit Ruffins, Preservation Hall Jazz Band and singer Topsy Chapman offer up traditional flavor as well.

Highlighting a vibrant diversity of old and new talent, this album is a musical and cultural tour of New Orleans.
