New Orleans Helsinki Connection's CD released

New Orleans Helsinki Connection released its first CD on April 24th, 2004. The CD is titled At Last and contains classic New Orleans favorites like Shake It And Break It, jazz standards like Them There Eyes and original compositions like The Sea Horse and the brand new New Orleans Helsinki Connection where Leroy Jones joins Tricia Boutté on vocals. The first edition was sold out and the record has been reprinted in the spring of 2006. It still is a favorite on many jazz radio shows.
