As the originator of the rhum-boogie, that amalgam of rhumba and boogie-woogie peculiar to New Orleans, Henry Roeland Roy Byrd a.k.a. Professor Longhair was a seminal influence on several generations of Crescent City stars, everybody from Fats Domino to Huey Smith to Allen Toussaint to Dr. John. But, as album producer (and controversial biographer of Elvis, John Lennon and Lenny Bruce) Albert Goldman writes in his liner notes to The Last Mardi Gras, the Professor was was wasting away in comparative obscurity while the record companies either refused to cut him or sat upon the records he had already made. So Goldman, who at the time was music critic for Esquire, campaigned in the magazine s pages for proper recognition of the New Orleans legend, and, lo and behold, Atlantic Records stepped forward with a 16-track mobile recording unit to get the job done.

Thus armed, Goldman set out to make the definitive Professor Longhair recording by capturing two nights of performances during (when else?) Mardi Gras in 1978 at (where else?) the Tipitina Club, and having the shows mixed by (whom else?) Cosimo Matassa, who engineered the original records of Fats Domino, Little Richard, Ray Charles et al. The result: the one indispensable audio document of the great man s career (and the last Mardi Gras he ever played). Our Real Gone reissue features Goldman s original liner notes and added pictures.

Henry Roeland Byrd (Professor Longhair, or just Fess, to his fans, admirers, and friends) distilled and synthesized New Orleans R&B piano playing to a fine art, mixing Caribbean rhumba rhythms with stride style and even a hint of Dixieland in his approach, topping it all off with seemingly effortless vocals that made everything he sang feel like a rockin' party was in full swing. Fess first recorded in 1949, and sides like "Big Chief," "Go to the Mardi Gras," and "Tipitina" became Crescent City classics in the 1950s and early '60s, but unfortunately he never saw the kind of commercial success that other New Orleans piano players like Fats Domino were able to achieve, which was truly a shame. He was, simply put, a national treasure, and somehow Albert Goldman, then music critic for Esquire, convinced Atlantic Records to send a 16-track mobile recording unit to New Orleans in 1978 during Mardi Gras and record two nights of Longhair playing at the Tipitina Club, his last Mardi Gras performance, as it turned out, coming just under two years before his death. The result was arguably the best performance recording of Longhair ever captured. Fess was known to do the same songs every album, every set, every time he played, it seemed, although his verve, style, and showmanship really made this an irrelevant fact, and in a town known for rollicking piano players, he was always the gold standard. With Fess and a piano, you had yourself a party. That's captured here in Professor Longhair's ultimately bittersweet but still wild and fun final Mardi Gras shows. This is what he did, folks, and no one represented New Orleans better.
