Reviews:

“In addition to successfully imparting a bundle of very useful information, Dr. John offers a batch of free-standing performances of tunes out of the venerable New Orleans R & B style, some featuring his wonderfully rich whiskey-soaked vocals. The tapes are exceptionally valuable resources for classes dealing with jazz styles and history, as well as for individual pianists wishing to extend their stylistic palettes.” – Jazz Educators Journal

“While these videos are no pushover course, Dr. John offers a rollicking two hours of fun licks, patterns and patter even stone beginners can happily learn from.” – People Magazine

“A graduate course in soul.” – Time
