Sugar Blues
Raymond Street Records
Traditional jazz music may not be winning any “Best Album of the Year” awards this year, but Alex Belhaj’s Crescent City Quartet is on to something special, and something really special to New Orleans. Sugar Blues, Alex Belhaj’s Crescent City Quartet’s debut album hits all the high-hitting horns and simple vocals marked of traditional New Orleans Jazz. The album beautifully displays the quartet’s twentieth century traditional abilities, without straying far from the mold of traditional jazz music.
