“No dry archival project, the LRJE is recognized by New Orleanians themselves as the most authentic band on the scene during the past thirty years. The players range in age from their early thirties to over 70. They have in common a deep-dyed dedication to performing this lost music as it was originally played, without the demeaning simplifications and standardizations common to groups playing for tourists.”
