Allen Toussaint’s first solo album in more than a decade, The Bright Mississippi, will be released through Nonesuch Records on April 20. Produced by frequent collaborator Joe Henry, the record is set to include songs by jazz giants such as Sidney Bechet, Jelly Roll Morton, Django Reinhardt, Thelonious Monk, Duke Ellington and Billy Strayhorn.
Speaking about the making of the album, the New Orleans legend recalled the recording process as “Wonderful. Everything is live, of course. This isn’t the kind of assembly line music where somebody put the wheels on here and somebody put the top on there. Everything got done at the same time, so everybody fed on each other, their personality and tonality.”
“I hadn’t tackled them [the songs] on my own," he added. "‘Tackle’ is a bad word - I hadn’t caressed them on my own, except to listen from time to time in passing. Even the gigs that I’ve done during my gigging days, I was playing whatever was on the radio at the time, boogie-ing and woogie-ing and the like. I hadn’t been through this standard bag. I always loved those songs, but I had never been in a setting where that is what I would do for a while. Until now.”
