It's Fat Tuesday! (Big thanks to SteveAudio for all his help)

Satchmo singing Dixie Music Man from the movie "New Orleans"

And Billie Holliday singing "Do You Know What It Means (To Miss New Orleans)"
As Steve said to me, New Orleans jazz begins and ends with the Preservation Hall Jazz Band. I couldn't find a decent video for them on YouTube, but their site offers a wonderful versions of Dixieland Jazz, as well as a virtual tour of the hall.
So your challenge tonight is to Laissez les bon temps rouler! Please link to the artists or music made famous by New Orleans.
