    🎹 Professor Longhair combined musical influences in the 1940s, creating exciting music with his piano virtuosity while building the foundation of #funk music in #NewOrleans. Influenced many, like Dr. John. More of his songs and info later in this seasonal thread.

    "Black or white, local or out-of-town, they all had Longhair's music in common. Just that mambo-rhumba boogie thing."
    — Allen Toussaint
