I have a recording of "Give It Up" by a Dr. Michael White and his band.
I suspect it is NOT the tune we are discussing here. It has a second
name Gypsy Second Line.
I recall seeing a picture of Dr. White looking a what was left of his
music and instruments after Katrina.
This one is apparently a tune played by current New Orleans Street
Brass bands. Dr White plays clarinet and has Nicholas Payton on trumpet
and Steve Pistorious on piano. He does have a Lucien Barbarin on
trombone, the rest of the names I don't recognize. It is an infectious
tune, better than most N O street band tunes I've heard.
