Dirty Dozen Brass Band make soulful New Orleans tribute
Marvin Gaye's 1971 release What's Going On's fusion of religious narratives and political overtones succeeded in solidifying Gaye as the most important R&B artist of his generation. In an ambitious undertaking, the Dirty Dozen Brass Band attempt to revive the soul of this classic album to commemorate the first anniversary of Hurricane Katrina. The Dozen's What's Going On takes this timeless message and allows it to flourish in a modern context.
