[Dixielandjazz] FW: Allen Toussaint

[Jim Kashishian]

This is a name I wasn't familiar with, but some of you on the list with more
knowledge about New Orleans may know of him.  Pianist & singer Allen
Toussaint played a concert here in Madrid on the night of 9 November with
great acclaim, apparently, from the audience.  He shook hands & had photos
taken with the public, then took a taxi to his hotel. He suffered a heart
attack in the taxi, and later died in the hospital.

Here is a link, however it is all in Spanish.  There are some good videos to
be seen on the link.
