"For many years I have read the New Internationalist magazine with great respect. Many an article I have written, and film I have made, have had their roots in something I read in the NI."
- John Pilger - journalist and film-maker

"What motivated the founders of the New Internationalist magazine was a high idealism; a real sense that we could change things; that if people knew the facts about what was going on, then they could actually have the wherewithal to campaign and try to make the world a better place."
- Troth Wells - one of the founders of the New Internationalist cooperative

"(The New Internationalist Magazine) maintains an easy lead as the most readable, interesting, controversial and informative magazine on questions of development"
- World Council of Churches

"The magazine is a secular publication. Readers, both Christian and non-Christian, may not always agree with all its conclusions. But it is an excellent catalyst for better informed thought and action. It pulls no punches yet at the same time is written with sensitivity and compassion � could be of immense help in our becoming more globally aware and responsible citizens."
- Gil Cann, editor, Working Together (published by the Australian Evangelical Alliance)

New Orleans

The musical traditions that New Orleans has nurtured are legendary, but music is not just the stuff of legend there. In the city’s streets, it is a vibrant, ever-evolving art form. New artists regularly learn from their predecessors, and inject those lessons with fresh energy and ideas.

For New Orleans, Putumayo founder Dan Storper researched traditional jazz and blues in forms both old and new after becoming a part time resident of New Orleans in 2003. The collection includes legends Louis Armstrong, Louis Prima, Doc Cheatham, Dr. John and The Preservation Hall Hot 4 with Duke Dejan alongside local favorites Nicholas Payton, Kermit Ruffins, Deacon John, Dr. Michael White, Topsy Chapman, Kevin Clark and Gregg Stafford.

The descriptive liner notes, written by New Orleans musicologist Baty Landis, are in English, French and Spanish. They feature striking photographs by respected New Orleans photographer Michael Smith, as well as a resource guide for New Orleans music, travel and entertainment. Renowned New Orleans chef Paul Prudhomme has contributed a recipe for seafood gumbo.

Track Listing:

1 Kermit Ruffins- Drop Me Off in New Orleans
2 Doc Cheatham & Nicholas Payton- Gotta Right to Sing the Blues
3 Louis Prima- Basin Street Blues
4 Preservation Hall Hot 4 with Duke Dejan- Wrap Your Troubles in Dreams
5 Topsy Chapman and the Pros- Baby Won't You Please Come Home
6 Kevin Clark and the Jazz Revolution- The Devil Done Got Me Blues
7 Louis Armstrong- Tin Roof Blues
8 Dr. John- Basin Street Blues
9 Dr. Michael White- Give It Up (Gypsy Second Line)
