Fat Tuesday set from the Black Rock Tavern

I was invited to DJ on March 8th, Fat Tuesday, for the swing night at Black Rock Tavern. I'm just now getting around to posting the setlist...

I play a lot of New Orleans-flavored music during most of my sets (which was why I was invited, I think), and that night I went even further. In the spirit of Mardi Gras excess, I played almost exclusively music by New Orleans artists. It wasn't that hard, considering so much music from throughout jazz history came and continues to come from there. Here's my set (along with the usual BPM sparkline and frequency distribution):
