In this episode of The Nightfly, we bring you a slew of Crescent City tunes to bring you on a virtual trip to Carnival in New Orleans. We'll bring you chart-topping favorites from Ernie K Doe, Shirley & Lee, and Fats Domino, classic tunes from the legendary Louis Armstrong, Mahalia Jackson, and Professor Longhair, plus plenty of brass, Mardi Gras Indian music, and, of course, those funky Meters.
