Mama and Papa Poss continue their musical odyssey on a boat bound for New Orleans. As they make their way down the Mississippi, a sudden hurricane tosses one of the passengers overboard. Papa Poss jumps to the rescue, pulling none other than Louis Catstrong out of the crashing waves. In thanks, the famous feline trumpet player takes the duo to his club in the French Quarter, where a group of cool cats are scratching up a new kind of music. Take a trip to the Big Easy in this swinging and scatting tale that pays homage to the city that invented jazz!

The narrated story is followed by the songs "Alley Cat" and "Oh, When the Saints."

"Glory Days in New Orleans!" is the second story in the "We’re a Possum Family Band" series, which follows Mama and Papa Poss on their travels that bring them across North America to the birthplaces of Cajun, jazz, country, rock’n’roll, blues, and traditional Quebecois music.

Avec sa voix envoûtante et ses rythmes chauds, Bïa tisse des ponts entre les cultures qui l’habitent, incluant celles de son Brésil natal, de la France et du Québec. Son premier album éponyme recevra le Grand Prix de l’Académie Charles-Cros en 1997 et l’album Coeur Vagabond remportera le Prix Félix dans la catégorie « Meilleur Album – Musiques du Monde » en 2006. Elle est l'auteure-compositeure de Pyjama Party publié en 2012 à La Montagne secrète.
