The Dynamic Duo of Eric Krasno and Stanton Moore, both Grammy winning artists, have finally joined forces with an album and a tour, and have come to Roadcase to talk about it all.  Both Krasno and Moore are highly-respected giants in the industry. Krasno is a founding member of Lettuce and Soulive while Stanton is a founding member of Galactic and Garage-a-Trois, and now they have produced an album together as Krasno/Moore Project (KMP), entitled Book of Queens, honoring women in music by covering the works of female artists such as Kacey Musgraves, H.E.R., Brittany Howard, Sharon Jones and Aretha Franklin, to name just a few.  They've also taken KMP on the road, as an organ trio with the immensely talented organist, Eric Finland.  Stanton and Krasno both possess a lifelong treasure trove of experience to share with Roadcase listeners and are both super-engaging and equally excited about this latest venture.  We talk about their live show and performance, their respective career development and how there is no end to the learning process, both professionally and personally. It's a magical and intriguing interview with these two stalwarts of the live performance world. So please come on along for this amazing conversation with Eric Krasno and Stanton Moore this week on Roadcase!!

TAKE ME TO THE RIVER NEW ORLEANS
New Orleans Music: One of the World’s Most Unique and Important Cultural Jewels

Take Me to the River New Orleans,” the second film, celebrates the rich musical history, the heritage, legacy, and influence of New Orleans and Louisiana. A true collaboration and melting pot of influences from around the World, that came together and formed one of the world’s most unique cultural jewels. Our adventure shows the resiliency of surviving disaster to a formidable rebirth. Pairing legacy musicians with stars of today.

There is nothing like the music of New Orleans. It is a wholly unique, worldwide collaboration that has resulted in an exceptional musical genre never before heard. This film will give the viewer an insightful historical perspective of how global influences shaped, and continue to shape, a musical quilt that formed the music of this extraordinary city. Influences came from many places: Cuba, South America, Africa, Europe, Canada, America. All contributed to the blending and shaping of a musical genre that is rich in culture and heritage. We, as Americans, are the conservators of this unique cultural phenomenon.

The film will highlight 20 to 25 new songs, combining multiple generations of New Orleans musicians. Legacy musicians will collaborate with stars of today and students from the Tipitina’s foundation, under the guidance and tutelage of Donald Harrison.

This film shows that New Orleans music has always been a collaboration of intergenerational, interracial, intercontinental and genderless effort.

New Orleans music includes the creation and influences of American jazz and jazz musicians and the introduction of unique instruments, story songs and life’s hardships from around the world.
