Mr. Davenport's music is debonair, delightful and sometimes just a bit kooky.

This release received rave reviews when it came out - from a multitude of sources (from National Public Radio for one). It's the only band I've ever seen that includes a theramin player. You can catch this quite large orchestra of accomplished musicians yearly at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, at Cabrini Park in New Orleans every Mothers' Day, and occasionally at clubs like Snug Harbor Jazz Bistro in New Orleans.

Bobby Marchan
I Miss You So
The Very Best of Bobby Marchan
Collectables
1999
On this song Bobby manages to pull off a duet with himself, with his usual panache. The multi-talented entertainer was at one time the lead vocalist with Huey "Piano" Smith and His Clowns. Later in life, he hosted a popular, New Orleans club version of "The Gong Show" that I've heard was absolutely hilarious.
