Personnel: Dr. John (vocals, guitar, piano); Robert Broom (guitar, background vocals); Alvin "Red" Tyler, Ronnie Cuber (saxophone); Charlie Miller (trumpet); David Barard (bass instrument, background vocals); Herman V. Ernest III (drums); Smiley Ricks (percussion, background vocals). New Orleans good-time ambassador Dr. John brings some Crescent City groove to the Montreux Jazz Festival on this rollicking live recording. Over time Dr. John has evolved from his freaky, voodoo-doctor persona of the 1970s into a suit-and-tie-wearing crooner, yet he still manages to deliver plenty of his irresistible vocal growl and down-and-dirty swamp-funk. The opening cut, "Iko Iko," is a New Orleans signature song, and Dr. John puts equal love and energy into versions of standards ("Blue Skies," "Makin' Whoopee"), classic blues ("Come On [Let the Good Times Roll]"), and his own hits ("Right Place, Wrong Time"). A crack, professional backing band keeps things moving smoothly, but Dr. John's scruffy singing and dynamic ivory-tickling are center-stage throughout.
