      Review by Bill Dahl

      Plenty of rarities are featured on Mardi Gras in New Orleans, making it a valuable cross-section of Professor Longhair's early releases. Both sides of the pianist's first two 78s for Star Talent Records are aboard, as well as sides he cut for Mercury, Federal ("Curly Haired Baby," "Gone So Long"), Wasco ("East St. Louis Baby"), Atlantic, and Ebb.

      Includes recordings from 1949-1957.
