This article presents developments in the field of music in New Orleans, Louisiana. In an interview Art Neville, one of the member of the group Neville Brothers kept calling the "gumbo" of the place, the spicy cultural ingredients that gave birth first to some of jazz's most vibrant idioms, then to some of the most influential strains of rhythm and blues and early rock and roll. James Carroll Booker III was both a wonder and an enigma, even to the people who knew him best. His parents, both musicians themselves, made sure he took lessons until he was 12, and he interpolated classical pieces into his music all his life. The year before he stopped his studies, he'd started playing blues and gospel organ for a local radio station.
