Here is the Good Doctor, in company with tenor saxophonist Don Harrison and his band, live at New York City's Birdland in November 1991, covering one of the building blocks of the whole New Orleans sound - a tune "officially" written (but not copyrighted) by James "Sugarboy" Crawford and first recorded in 1954, but in all probability much older than that
