Mong-Lan - New Orleans of My Heart (2019)

"New Orleans of My Heart" is Mong-Lan's contribution of original compositions to the city of jazz and piano, of syncopated heartbeat and spirituals; this-- a journey of healing and discovery through music. Drinking in the air that is music in New Orleans rejuvenates and restores. Here one finds magic, bygone heirlooms of cultures, memorabilia, wrecked love, bruised hearts. The music of the Mississippi River, the magic of the river, the land, finds its forms not only in the beauty of the landscape, but in the music that forms its air and people. On the streets, near the river, folks sing spirituals, drumming; I hear banjos, trumpets, saxophones, bagpipes, charming, taming the river. In clubs, on plazas, in nooks and crannies, on well-worn streets of the French Quarter. With this new album, I offer my contribution to jazz piano and the city.
