[Dixielandjazz] New Orleans Jazz, JRM and Disney's "Princess and the Frog"

[David M Richoux]

Hi all,

You may recall I mentioned seeing a trailer for this film and  
commenting on it a while back - much of the soundtrack and featured  
songs are very much OKOM! Just as the "Jungle Book" featured the style  
(and musicians) of New Orleans jazz revival, Randy Newman has been  
exploring Jelly Roll Morton and Louis Armstrong for his composition  
for this new animation. I have not seen the film yet, but it is high  
on my list.

This link is to an article in the Los Angeles Times about the  
soundtrack:
