The first time I heard the Peter Novelli Band play, I was on the run. It was a desperate, despairing sprint away from Bourbon Street-once the pride of musical New Orleans, now little more than a Disneyland for grown-ups, with dull, staid cover bands drowning each other out in a noisy face-off. The deep, rich, and heady heritage of New Orleans music, the birthplace of jazz, lies dead there.
Then I heard Peter make his guitar sing. It was Nawlins music with the N spelt in big bold neon lights-bluesy, jazzy, a smattering of rock, some seriously swampy boogie, a bit of swing-all of it liberally spiced with Cajun rhythms, and rounded off with R&B. He and his band were rocking a little joint on Frenchmen Street, where the 19th Century prettiness of the French Quarter melts into the atmospheric and historic streets of Treme.
Peter has been a blues guitarist for more than three decades, and has worked and played with the who's who of cajun, zydeco, blues, and R&B music. He brought all these influences and alliances to play in his colorful debut album. ~Rudraneil Sengupta
