haunt them with jazz

[mopinko]

and zydeco, blues, and a jazz funeral procession whenever possible. this idea was suggested a few days ago, but things were so busy around here, i don't know how many people saw it. i think this is a fabulous idea.
i am not that much of a music person, although living in chicago, i couldn't hide from jazz if i tried. but i mostly listen to it on the radio, or at the festivals, and don't own that much music. but i went to a used cd place yesterday and scooped up a few discs. part of how i am going to heal from this myself is to collect up the music that these bastards tried to flush, and play it loud as i drive my truck, which is covered with giant bumperstickers, like- impeach now, etc. it feels so good. i drove out to the burbs to the cindy rally yesterday, and it really raised my spirits.
do you have a favorite artist/recording that reminds you of nola?
and forgive my ignorance, but are there songs that are traditional to play at a jazz funeral? anything available on cd that would evoke that?
