Nov 24/10 - Last night I went to a concert of authentic New Orleans jazz music. The first half of the show was enjoyable but wasn't particularly breath taking in my mind. It wasn't until Allen Toussaint came on stage that I noticed a huge difference in the performance of the other musicians. He brought a beautiful harmony to the group and even seemed to tame but also play with the priorly hidden talent of the others. Toussaint introduced a song with the description of a famous AXE commercial and announced that the song from that commerical was done by him. It brings a new appreciation for the song to me, because quite often you don't think of the absolute beauty of a song in a commerical, you're usually focused on the ad itself. The experience was overall very enlightening and refreshing.
