About this album
New Orleans Piano is a vivid statement of Professor Longhair’s unique place in New Orleans music. Issued in 1972, it gathers recordings that show Henry Roeland Byrd’s trademark blend of blues, boogie-woogie, rumba and rolling second-line rhythm, all driven by his distinctive piano style and sly, rhythmic vocal phrasing. Longhair’s influence reached far beyond the city, helping shape the sound of later New Orleans greats and making him a touchstone for pianists across blues, R&B and rock. With landmarks such as Tipitina and Mardi Gras in New Orleans, the album stands as a concise portrait of one of the city’s most original and enduring musical voices.
