At 101, trumpeter Lionel Ferbos isn’t ready to retire. He’s still playing gigs and, just last week, he made an appearance on the TV show, “Treme.” Read more here in the New Orleans Times-Picayune.
Take a look at this video taken at one of his performances two years ago. It’s his band, featuring clarinetist Brian O’Connell, saxophonist Tom Fischer, bassist Art Neville and drummer Ernie Elly, on “I Wish I Could Shimmy Like My Sister Kate.” It was shot by Ricky Riccardi of the Louis Armstrong blog at dippermouth.blogspot.com at Maison during the Satchmo Club Strut on Frenchman Street.
