Professor Longhair was a master of joyful, rollicking New Orleans rhythm & blues. Crawfish Fiesta, cut in 1979, is considered the finest album of his career. It highlights his signature one-of-a-kind rhumba-blues piano style and wild vocals. Cut with his regular touring band plus Dr. John on guitar, it’s a Blues Music Award winner, and called “a masterpiece” by the Village Voice.
