About this listen
Halloween began long before candy or costumes — it was an Old-World harvest night brought to America by Irish and Scottish immigrants. In New Orleans, the cradle of jazz, those traditions found a natural home — a city steeped in ghosts, voodoo, and second-line magic, the perfect setting for a music that could raise the dead, or at least make ghosts dance.
