Alphonse Picou

I have finally cracked the mystery of my paper – released it from the wicked spell that burdened it, perhaps. It has turned into mere work rather than spiritual toil. Therefore we will sing.

This is Alphonse Picou (1878-1961) on his famous clarinet part in “High Society,” recorded with the Paul Barbarin band in New Orleans around 1959.

Axé.
