Hesse Koerner Petrov – In New Orleans Vol. 2

feat. Aurora Nealand & Johnny Vidacovich

The Hesse Koerner Petrov Organ Trio returns with In New Orleans Vol. 2 - a vibrant celebration of New Orleans-inspired Funk Jazz infused with Caribbean rhythms and deep grooves. This electrifying Hammond trio session features two local legends: multi-instrumentalist and vocalist Aurora Nealand and iconic New Orleans drummer Johnny Vidacovich, whose unmistakable touch brings an authentic, soulful pulse to the recording.

Captured live at the renowned Esplanade Studios in the heart of New Orleans during Mardi Gras 2025, the album channels the city's musical spirit — raw, spontaneous, and full of life. From swampy funk to hypnotic Caribbean-flavored vamps, the trio delivers high-energy interplay and rich organ textures that pay homage to the Crescent City’s unique sound.

In New Orleans Vol. 2 is a modern groove journey rooted in tradition — bold, colorful, and deeply soulful.
