Episode: Interview with John Ellis

Puppet Mischief, Brooklyn-based saxophonist John Ellis's second album with his New Orleans-based band Double-Wide, continues the former New Orleanian's love affair with the Big Easy, drawing inspiration from the rich vein of music the city has given the world, while also taking cues, in Ellis' own words, from "carnivals, state fairs, children laughing, clowns and dancing." Marking his debut on the ObliqSound label with the February 23rd release, the recording features Ellis with Brian Coogan on organ, Matt Perrine on sousaphone and Jason Marsalis on drums, plus special guests Gregoire Maret on harmonica and Alan Ferber on trombone.
