Dr John, Posthumous

From New Horizons, 5:00 pm on 23 July 2023

Dr John may have gone to his reward four years ago, but the CDs keep coming, from his final studio album last year, Things Happen That Way, to a new compilation of stunning performances from the Montreux Jazz Festival. William Dart looks into them both.
