Bleu Orleans is one of New Orleans biggest secrets....
You might ask, "How would one categorize a band that combines jazz, world music, rock, R&B, hip-hop, blues and world music into one particular genre"? Well it''s no secret that the Crescent City is a modern day musical Mecca and the members of Bleu Orleans are willing and able to push the envelope of traditional New Orleans music. Bleu Orleans is carrying the torch of New Orleans'' music into the new millenium .
Founding member and trumpeter Edward Anderson explains, Many people think of New Orleans and New Orleans'' Jazz in romantic "old world" terms, however the 21st century is a very different world than when Louis Armstrong, Sidney Bechet, and Jellyroll Morten were defining the music in the early 20th century. Neither John Coltrane, nor Miles Davis experienced such a rapidly evolving world with email, digital media, or the paranoia brought about by 9/11. As creative artists, we want to express our experiences through music." Bleu Orleans is very eclectic, very rooted in the fundamental influences of contemporary jazz but we also feel free to borrow from the undeniable influences of Motown, hip-hop and world music influences on the 21st century music.
Bleu Orleans is a New Orleans'' super group much the way bands like Incognito and Steely Dan are - master musicians who are each capable bandleaders in their own right. Through their collective experience, Bleu Orleans has played internationally recognized music festivals across the globe. In addition, band members have performed with such world-renowned artists as Wynton Marsalis, Tori Amos, Aretha Franklin, and Jimmy Smith.
