The Bright Mississippi Digital MP3 Album

For the first time in his storied career, Toussaint explores the work of his New Orleans forebears on a soulful, live-in-the-studio jazz set, produced by Joe Henry that the Washington Post calls an ""exquisite"" album, one that reveals his ""great flair and imagination as an interpreter and performer."" The New York Times says, ""Toussaint brings to these songs his own elegant, reserved sensibility."" Guests include Joshua Redman and Brad Mehldau.
