Deacon John - Live At The 1994 New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival (1999), Deacon John's Jump Blues : Music From The Film (2003)

→ Thanks to my unique partners...



The most unknown famous musician
from New Orleans
A short man with the modest look of an anonymous office worker dressed in a dull gray suit, with bow tie, two-colored shoes and a little hat that seems too small for his head, with a constant vacuous smile revealing a solid set of upper teeth, and a twinkle in the eyes that do not succeed in hiding flashes of melancholy… Don't be misled : the man is not what he looks like. Not really known outside of New Orleans, he is a legend in his home city.

This is the strange paradox of “Deacon” John Moore. Without any hit under his name, he can be heard on lots of iconic recordings from New Orleans early R'n'B kings and queens !
