New Orleans Piano Players.(Video recording review)

New Orleans Piano Players makes no promises or claims aside from its title.

None are legendary in the same sense as Professor Longhair, James Booker, or Allan Toussaint, though a few may certainly be local legends, and it's debatable how influential any one of them may be.
