Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee and six-time Grammy-winner Dr. John is New Orleans' most prominent living musical icon. The embodiment of his hometown's freewheeling creative spirit and multiple musical traditions, he's built a visionary, idiosyncratic body of work that's deeply rooted in the Crescent City's myriad Blues, R&B, Jazz and Rock 'n' Roll traditions. So it's fitting that SKE-DAT-DE-DAT: THE SPIRIT OF SATCH pays heartfelt tribute to another larger-than-life New Orleans legend: The seminal trumpeter and vocalist Louis 'Satchmo' Armstrong, whose musical innovations created the template for 20th-century Jazz, and whose playful attitude and life-embracing spirit made him a beloved figure whose worldwide appeal transcended music. 'He's the most famous guy that ever came out of my neighborhood,' notes Dr. John. 'He became a legend all over, for his trumpet playin' and everything else, and he was the United States' ambassador to the world.'
