Description

CD 9031

Jesse Legé and Edward Poullard are living legends of authentic Louisiana Cajun and Creole music. Jesse sings in the traditional high pitched emotional style reminiscent of the late Iry LeJeune and plays the accordion with equal power and conviction. Edward Poullard is one of the few Creole fiddlers still carrying on in the tradition of the late Canray Fontenot.

Jesse Legé – vocals and accordion; Edward Poullard – fiddle
with The Cajun All Stars: Billy Wilson – steel guitar; Martin Jara – guitar; Steven Strauss – bass; David “Killer” Hymowitz – drums.

REVIEW

“Edward Poullard fired out the blade-sharp fiddle lines with the nonchalance of breathing…Jesse Lege heaves his shoulders around a wildly wheezing button-accordion as befitting this card-carrying Cajun Music Hall of Famer and Cajun French Music Association’s ‘Best Accordion Player of the Year’…by the time that band hit their fire-breathing ‘Zydeco Sont Pas Sale’ encore the crustaceous honorees at the Isleton Crawdad Festival weren’t the only things red hot and boiling over.”
