Treme is the story of New Orleans after Katrina. On Dec 1, 2013 it returned for its fourth and final season. We’ll hate to see it end. It has brought the wonder of New Orleans jazz to HBO along with stories of musicians, chefs, fishermen, Mardi Gras, and the struggle to recover from the storm. Episode one, last Sunday, had a lot of music and it was great.
One of the highlights was to hear the Ellis Marsalis quintet. Here is a song, not from the Treme soundtrack, but from Ellis Marsalis’ album “A New Orleans Christmas Carol.'”—Deluxe Edition. The song is called “Christmas Time is Here.” This is a beautiful tune–not often heard.
