In our continuing chronological look at the music of New Orleans and Louisiana, Tom Morgan and his Tuesday New Orleans Music Show presents the music of 1952. From Louis Armstrong's recordings in Scandanavia, Sidney Bechet's in Paris and Louis Prima's in New York to Sharkey Bonano's recordings in New Orleans, you'll get to experience traditional jazz sounds from 1952.

This week it is 1950 with recordings by Papa Celestin, Professor Longhair, Archibald, Paul Gayten, Fats Domino, Harry Choates, Kid Ory, Dave Bartholomew, Roy Brown, Cousin Joe and, the Six and Seven Eights String Band and more.
