Wardell Quezergue Jazz Funeral.mp4

Earlier this week we sent off Wardell Quezergue the only way we know how, with a beautiful mass which was held at a packed Corpus Christi-Epiphany Catholic Church over on St. Bernard Ave. followed by a Second Line led by The Treme Brass Band and dozens of musicians, friends and family.....It was really nice to see everyone, and I mean everyone, but these "get togethers" have been all too frequent as of late, we could certainly use a long, long break till the next......... stills can be seen on my photography website at http://nativeorleanian.com/wardell-quezergue-sent-off-new-orleans-style/ video can be viewed in 1080p HD....just arrange settings at lower right.......background music is The Dirty Dozen Brass Band...."Just a Closer Walk With Thee"

Hi Jerry, thank you so kindly for uploading this video. Though my father didn't receive the credit that he truly deserved, he enjoyed producing, arranging and conducting music, that was his life. Everything about him was naturally New A'wlins!!!!! Pops, love you and rest in peace.
