Front cover says "Batiste Brothers Band Introducing 10 Years Old Travis Batiste"Back cover says:
"While traveling on a tour of Japan, I decided to pay a tribute to celebration a "Celebration Of Love". A feeling off bliss, happiness, excitement, and fulfillment, deserves expresson [sic]. Art is the medium of the soul and the spirit of man. This CD contains a festival of love, are, family, tradition and emotion. These musicians exhibit love of music, love of mankind, love of trade, love of community and above all, love of art form. However, none of this has any meaning without our Creator - through which all things are possible. And so, in celebrating life, we show the soul and spirit of man through a gift from God - Music."
Inlay says:
"The Batiste Bros. consist of four brothers and sons of the brothers. The group originated from a family of seven boys. Crossover is the sound of the contemporary New Orleans group. Their versatile sound has toured Europe and Japan. Funk has finally arrived and the Batiste Brothers Band is one of the driving forces.
New orleans Music transcends a variety of styles. Therefore, words can't describe the term. The important thing is the heritage of a city so important as to be called "The Birth Place of Jazz, Blues, Gospel etc......" In producing this LP, my goal is not to adequately present all that encompasses New Orleans Music. However, the music permeates every fabric of our society. Listen to it. Enjoy it. Love it. Believe it. Feel it. And above all, support it. It will not let you down. New Orleans - a city of celebrations.
This LP is dedicated in memory of Tracey Lee Batiste.
-- Paul A. Batiste"
