Music Minus One Drums Deluxe 2-CD Set-Native son Tim Laughlin decided he wanted to create in the style but not necessarily using the tried and true classics of the Crescent City. So he assembled an extraordinary band of players all veterans of the music wrote a collection of new songs and produced this album. It won First Prize as the Best Jazz Album created in Louisiana in 2003 by Offbeat Magazine an accurate testament to its merits. Tim graciously made this album available to Music Minus One remixing the music to omit the key players clarinet trumpet trombone piano bass and drums in order to produce some of the most delectable play-alongs we offer in our catalogue. This is music rich in tradition butfresh in its details and execution. The music itself isn't easy to play but the charts are clearly accessible and easy to read. This is music for the ages guaranteed to pleasure players from ten to ninety. The personnel of this band is extraordinary as you can see and the music they make together has to be experienced.
