Description
When New Orleans was under the French Crown, during the early 18th century, a street in the French Quarter was named Rue du Maine. Later on New Orleans became the capital of the Spanish province of Louisiana (1762-1803) this same street then bore the name Calle del Maine. During the 19th century the name was Americanized and now bears the name Dumaine Street. I have lived on this street for most of my life.
Composition of this music was inspired by the street brass bands of New Orleans which go back to the 19th century up to the present. Originally they had a European sound, then later jazzy, Creole Caribbean elements became an important part of the music.

I love the groove you build up in the opening, followed by a very cool E. pno. solo… In fact, I love all the solos! These are incredibly realistic instruments! This is extremely well done; I'm hugely impressed! This is ready for prime-time TV, could be TV detective show music. Fantastic!
