Description
Funerals, Parades, and Second Lines Part 1
New Orleans Jazz National Historical Park is pleased to feature Dr. Bruce Raeburn and musician Barry Martyn in the limited educational series about New Orleans funerals, parades, and second lines.
Dr. Bruce Raeburn is known to most people as the curator of the William Ransom Hogan Jazz Archive at Tulane University, a position he held from 1989 until his retirement on January 1, 2018. Together with his inspired and devoted team of researchers, Lynn Abbot and Alaina Hébert, he helped make “the little engine that could” into a accessible treasury of New Orleans jazz history and a unique public resource where academics, musicians, and enthusiasts alike could connect with the men and women who shaped the sounds of the city.
Drummer, record producer, bandleader, jazz researcher, and cigar-chomping storyteller Barry Martyn is a New Orleans original who happens to have been born in England. Implausible as that may seem, it makes perfect sense to members of the New Orleans traditional jazz community, who view themselves as an extended family based on merit as much as where you originate from. For more than forty years, Martyn has been a fixture in the Crescent City's jazz scene, laying down the beat for generations of celebrated musicians and avidly promoting the city's unique musical heritage around the world.
