New Orleans Jazz
That street lamp has been burning since before you were born, and it has no plans to go out.
New Orleans Jazz is a style from the Smoke and Midnight family. 120 BPM, Weirdness 28, Style Influence 93.
Trumpet, clarinet, and trombone improvising together with pure joy. New Orleans jazz: the festive root of jazz, warm, street-level, and overflowing with life.

Sample excerpt
Enterramos a mi tío un martes con banda completa, salimos del cementerio llorando y a los tres pasos alguien cambió el ritmo y todos entendimos: él no hubiera querido que volviéramos callados.
Toca fuerte, que se sepa que vivió, toca alegre, que así es como se despide. Aquí la tristeza va de ida y de regreso venimos bailando.
Workshop note — Primera persona, pretérito, luto festivo. El jazz de Nueva Orleans es polifonía colectiva: la letra debe narrar una escena real de comunidad. A 120 BPM todos los instrumentos hablan a la vez, así que deja huecos amplios.
