This radio portrait of a New Orleans jazz funeral, from Baltimore-based producer Mary Rose Madden, captures the excitement of an outsider taking in a new cultural experience for the first time. Madden narrates this sound-rich feature with a contagious enthusiasm and a great eye for detail. She's not afraid to include tape of herself interacting with the musicians and dancers in the Second Line, and the result is a very personal piece, as much about the kindness of strangers as it is about the funeral procession. And then there's the live music, recorded expertly and embroidered throughout the story with great effect. All in all, this is a very original piece from a promising new voice on the scene.
