Professor Longhair: Crawfish Fiesta (LP)

(Alligator Records) 13 tracks

This is a lightning fast, one-off album. Professor Longhair was experiencing a renaissance of attention after a lifelong hiatus when he was approached by Bruce Iglauer of Alligator.

Armed with the opportunity to record new music, Fess went into Allen Toussaint's Sea Saint Studio and gathered some of New Orleans' finest musicians around him, including his longtime conga accomplice Uganda Roberts and Dr. John on guitar.

This was his big moment. Fess was headlining Jazzfest, playing private parties for John Lennon, his new album was about to be released and he was about to open a major national tour for The Clash when he died in his sleep at the age of just 61.

Crawfish Fiesta was released shortly after his death and was to have a strong, lasting impact on music.

"Professor Longhair"

Professor Longhair, next to Fats Domino, must rank as New Orleans' most influential musician. Born Henry Roeland Byrd in Bogalusa, Louisiana, on Dec. 18, 1918, his family moved to New Orleans when he was still a child.

He soon picked up the wonderfully diverse styles of the old pianists who used to play the clubs and clip joints, and moulded them into his unique way of playing, with Spanish and rhumba accents predominating. He made his first record in 1949 for Star Talent as Professor Longhair and the Shuffling Hungarians and in 1950 'Bald Head' on Mercury was his one and only record to dent the R&B charts. Records for Atlantic, Federal, Wasco, Ebb, Rip and Watch flopped badly although his 1959 Ron recording of 'Go To The Mardi Gras' still sells well every year at New Orleans' annual blow-out.

He was out of work for much of the Sixties, but there has been a welcome revival of interest in his music of late, which has led to many live appearances and a visit to Europe.
