OH MY GAWD Fred! Ed has been on Louisiana Jukebox twice now and is a great
player AND composer. His latest group is called Bleu Orleans and the CD was
just released. He has assembled a great group of players including Clarence
Johnson on Sax. The time before he was basically handed the baton by Harold
Battiste (another monster that is one of our greatest educators in the
city). When I see Ed I will say hi for you.
Best wishes
Paz
