Slow nights on a French Quarter balcony · New Orleans slow bass jazz

New Orleans, a little after 2 a.m. A summer shower has just passed over the French Quarter, and the streets are still shining. The gas lamps flicker, the air is warm and heavy, and somewhere below a bass is walking slowly through a blues. On a wrought-iron balcony among the ferns, a black-and-white cat with a suitcase watches the night go by, in no hurry at all. 🎧 Tracklist 0:00 Rain Just Passed on Royal Street 2:59 A Balcony Above the Gas Lamps 6:36 The Bass Walks Home Slowly 10:00 Ferns in a Warm Breeze 12:34 Clarinet in the Humid Air 16:06 Shutters Half Closed 19:21 Puddles Full of Neon 22:11 A Lazy Turnaround at 2 A.M. 25:23 Low Notes on Chartres Street 28:25 The Bass Sings First 31:43 One Long Note Over Silence 34:30 Same Two Bars All Night 37:34 Slow Shuffle on a Wet Corner 40:48 Arco for the River 43:44 Riverboat Lights on the Water 46:46 Steam from the Paddle Steamer 49:44 A Bollard and a Coiled Rope 52:36 The Mississippi Doesn't Hurry 55:38 Fireflies Over the Railing 58:25 A Clock Made of Piano 1:01:47 Harmonics in the Dark 1:04:43 Bass Alone, Balcony Alone 1:07:29 Two Voices, One Phrase 1:10:44 Mist Along Bourbon at 4 A.M. 1:14:00 Where the Music Goes When It Stops 1:16:41 Nobody Left on the Street 1:19:36 A Cat Who Stayed for the Last Note 1:22:38 Waiting for the Morning Ferry 1:25:48 First Light Over the River 1:29:03 Soft Notes Like Slow Rain 1:31:57 The Lamps Go Out One by One 1:34:46 Asleep Above the French Quarter Ambient sounds: from Pixabay.
