about

Your Panorama track from June 2015 is from a video we shot in June of 2014 on the batture, just over the Mississippi levee, for a series produced by Hard Road Pictures for NolaVie called "Levee Acoustics." Our late friend and collaborator, Bill Deputy, was the sound engineer on the project and he made a mix of this waltz for us to release as part of this "track of the month" series.

"Si O No Vals" came to us via New Orleans tuba sheik (and Panorama's first-chair sousaphonist) Matt Perrine who had transcribed it for his band, Sunflower City, from the original recording by Gerald Clark and his Caribbean Serenaders.

Listen for the lovely birdsong counterpoint in your left channel at the beginning and during Charlie’s trombone solo as well as the other wild sounds of the batture throughout that Bill so expertly captured.

Also, do check out the video produced by Laine Kaplan-Levenson and shot/edited by Ian Cook and Jules Piecha. Just search the term "Levee Acoustics Si O No Vals."
