Second Place: "New Orleans Quarantine"
 |
| Matthew Hinton | Mark McGrain a trombonist, composer and arranger, who currently backs guitarist Walter "Wolfman" Washington and played with singer John Boutte in the past, is spending his time during the statewide stay-at-home order straightening out and testing musical equipment and instruments like his alphorn. He has occasionally climbed on the roof of his porch to play for neighbors in the Faubourg Marigny in New Orleans like he did Tuesday. McGrain got the alphorn that was originally destined for the Boston Symphony orchestra that ordered three from Switzerland. But this horn didn't match the other two sonically so they built a fourth one and McGrain acquired this one. McGrain says the alphorn is like playing a trombone in 6th position in the key of F. The alphorn, named after the Swiss Alps, is 14 feet long and is made from a spruce tree that grows on the side of mountain and naturally bends as reaches toward the sun. McGrain also plays in a trio called Plunge with bassist James Singleton and tenor saxophonist Tom Fitzpatrick. Copyright: Matthew Hinton / Very Local New Orleans |
