Hi Chas,
Some great stuff there played for sure I love it. I am by far no expert on what is considered "New Orleans Style"
there are so many played there and have roots too like :

New Orleans Musical Styles:

BRASS BAND. The instruments: trumpet, trombone, drums, saxophone, sousaphone, and tuba. ...
RAGTIME. The Instruments: piano, sometimes accompanied by brass instrument. ...
DIXIE LAND/TRADITIONAL JAZZ. ...
CAJUN MUSIC. ...
ZYDECO. ...
GYPSY JAZZ. ...
BOUNCE.

But I know one thing, I dig the crap out of it!!! cool2
It makes me feel good, keys and inspires me inside, after all isn't that what music is meant to do?... heck I'm still reeling from my trip 5 years ago to Shreveport playing with Don Mason and all the country boys down south like Joe Lee Williams, and Hank, RIP, etc,
..it was a honor to be on stage playing with them. I certainly learned a lot and had a great time time doing it.
Hope to make the trip down south again in my future with some stops along the way. Thanx for sharing
