Bourbon Street Parade
Bourbon Street Parade is a popular jazz song written by drummer Paul Barbarin in 1955. The song is an example of how early marching bands influenced New Orleans jazz. It has become a Dixieland classic and New Orleans Jazz standard.[1]
It is often performed as part of "Second line" parades in New Orleans.[2] The melody of Won't You Come Home Bill Bailey can be played simultaneously with Bourbon Street Parade and makes a pleasing counterpoint.[3]
