Musicians featured in the interviews—which were conducted over a period of two and a half years—include veterans such as Benny Jones Sr., Donald Harrison Jr., Johnny Vidacovich, Gregg Stafford, and the late Uncle Lionel Batiste, as well as the young players learning from them through performance, pedagogy, and oral tradition.
“There’s a difference between just learning the music and having the spirit passed down to [the youth],” said Barnes, who initially approached Breunlin to document the Music for All Ages program, which pairs up old and young musicians. “The more I worked with the musicians for this project, 1 realized that there’s a bigger storv being told. I knew that this was something important.”
The Collection was one of nearly a dozen New Orleans museums, archives, and special collections to donate image reproductions tor Talk That Music Talk, making the project a collaboration not only among members of the musical community but also among the city’s many cultural and historical institutions. In addition to signifying the book’s importance as part of the city’s musical-historical record, this collective gesture “shows that The Collection and our peer institutions are important repositories for information about New Orleans music and culture,” Hammer said. “The people who made this book really appreciate the role of archives as preservers of the historical record. The materials that relate to a person’s family because their father made it or grandfather made it or it depicts their ancestors—an archive can care for those objects in perpetuity and allow them to be made available.” —MOLLY REID
