Allen Toussaint has helped shape the sound of R&B, soul and funk while infusing a little bit of New Orleans into it. His new release re-interprets classic jazz and blues tunes written by Louisana natives. Today's Top Tune is the title track to
The Bright Mississippi penned by the late great Thelonius Monk.
