LEILA FADEL, HOST:
And finally today, even though this year s Mardi Gras didn t feature the usual crowded musical parade, a new album is bringing the culture and celebration of New Orleans directly to you.
(SOUNDBITE OF SONG, WILDMAN )
CHA WA: (Singing) Wildman running around, take me down, take me down. See Wildman running around.
FADEL: That s Wildman by the funk band Cha Wa, which means, we re coming for you. It s a celebratory phrase often used by Mardi Gras Indians, and it s a reference to the vibrant, in-your-face style that s featured throughout this album. And here to tell us more about it is bandleader Joe Gelini and lead singer Joseph Boudreaux Jr.

Music blared from the courtyard of a French Quarter restaurant on Mardi Gras morning but nobody was there to hear it until Tom Gibson and Sheila Wheeler of Philadelphia walked out of their hotel’s nearly empty lobby.
“We were expecting a little bit lower key than the normal Mardi Gras,” Wheeler said. But empty Bourbon Street was a shock.
Nancy Ochsenschlager receives Jazz Hero Award from Jazz Journalists Association
Nancy Ochsenschlager, the former associate producer of the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival who has helped produce the event for 45 years in various capacities, has been honored with a Jazz Hero award by the Jazz Journalists Association. Initiated in 2001, the Jazz Hero awards honor “activists, advocates, altruists, aiders and abettors of jazz who have had significant impact in their local communities.”
Born in 1939 and raised in Aurora, Illinois, Ochsenschlager attended the University of Michigan and graduated in 1962 with a B.S. in Nursing. She spent the next dozen years working in her chosen field and, in an early indication of her adventurous spirit, traveling the world, including journeys to Central and South America, Europe and Japan for multiple years.
