Alexis Marceaux
New Orleans and Music are virtually synonymous. I love music, all kinds. I have my favorites like everybody else, but one of the things I love about New Orleans is there is music everywhere. I knew early on that I would never be a “Star” since I have no musical talent to speak of, so it is no wonder that I am in awe of those who do. After lunch one afternoon my husband handed me a CD on his way out to an appointment and said “A client gave me this. It’s her daughter. Listen to it and see if you want to catch her live performance later. She is playing in the Quarter tonight.” I figured I’d listen to the CD first, before deciding.
So after seeing him out, I picked up the CD again. “Alexis Marceaux” I read. “Pretty name”, I thought. The picture on the cover showed an attractive young lady lying in the grass. “Cute picture” was my next thought. I guessed her age to be very early 20’s at best. Still unsure this would be something I ( in my old age) could relate to, I popped the CD in and “pretty and cute” were not what I was thinking as this big amazing voice filled the room. Wow, could I relate and I definitely had to reevaluate. “Powerful” and “Beautiful” were just the beginning. Of course I was going to see her perform live. Alexis’ “Elevator Ride” had just become my new favorite song.
The revelations kept coming. Alexis, young as she might be, was no new kid on the block. She had played her first public venue at 7 years old and had written her first song at 13. This young singer-songwriter is also an accomplished piano, harmonica and guitar player. “Talented.” A New Orleans native, Alexis and her family had lost everything in Hurricane Katrina and had to start completely over. Katrina might have taken her home, but not her dream to play music. “Gutsy.” Her dream to play music in New Orleans, a city she loves. “ Heart.”
Check out Alexis Marceaux, the young lady with a powerful, big, beautiful voice who is also a multi-talented performer with guts and heart. I have seen and heard “Stars” with less to recommend them. I should have known better than to judge a book or, in this case, a CD by its cover. Find out for yourself. Alexis plays live venues all over the greater New Orleans area and is scheduled to perform at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival in April.

New Orleans Treme and Google Fiber
Kudos to John Goodman and everyone involved in the “Treme’” project they are really doing an awesome job of promoting New Orleans- the city, the people, the music, and the Louisiana film industry. I am thrilled to have had the opportunity to be an extra on the set of Treme’. I am even more excited about the future of New Orleans and Louisiana.
Catch the premiere of HBO’s Treme’ on April 11th.

BOURBON STREET PARADE 3 TITO MARTINO 1983
“BOURBON STREET PARADE” was recorded by a public TV in the last performance of clarinetist Tito Martino with the Traditional Jazz Band, just before he changed his residence to Swiss in 1983. Martino started, named and lead the Traditional Jazz Band for 20 years. This is certainly one of the best performances of this band, one which all their members can feel proud of. At this time, Carlos Lima was at trumpet (he’s out now) Bruno Christen trombone (he is now living in Swiss) Tito Martino clarinet, sop.sax, altosax and leader, Edo Callia piano, Dudu Bugni banjo and guitar, Carlos Chaim bass, and Alcides Lima drums and washboard. Tito came back to São Paulo in 1993 and plays with his new group, the TITO MARTINO JAZZ BAND.
