Make America Great Again!

In this debut recording, the Uptown Jazz Orchestra brings the joyous and celebratory sounds of New Orleans to life in music, from the brass band street sounds to the posh nightclub scene, to a Copland Carnegie Hall excursion. Under the direction of NEA Jazz Master Delfeayo Marsalis, UJO adds some home-cooked seasoning to original material and jazz classics that pay homage to America's great cultural traditions: blues, swing, groove and good old-fashioned southern hospitality. Socially and politically conscious liner notes complete a landmark artistic achievement that will keep toes tapping and rumps shaking without a doubt!
