This was my first visit to New Orleans post Katrina. After spending a few nights listening to the blues in the french quarter-Brian Lee at the Jazz Emporium and Big Al and the Blues Masters at the Funky Pirate, it was time for me to find a jam. No jams seemed to be happening on or around Bourbon St, however a $15 cab ride got me over to the Deckbar & Grille for a kickin' blues jam Wednesday night. Big Daddy's Juke Joint Blues Jam with Oscar & The Blues Cats starts around 8:30. This is a super jam with some terrific players showing up. Oscar did a good job getting everyone up and kept things cooking for the next four hours. Roger is the house drummer here and had a set of 60's Premeir drums that were fun to play and sounded great! This neighborhood blues jam is well worth checking out any time you're in the Crescent City.
