Joe Hall is the founder of the bad "Joe Hall and Louisiana Cane Cutters."
Registration fee for 4 classes is $45. There is limited enrollment and pre-registration is required. For more information, contact Patrice Melnick at 662-1032 or casa.azul.gc@gmail.com or visit http://frederickarts.homestead.com/JoeHall.html
Joe Hall has released two CDs, one in mid-2006 that also features two other Creole musicians, Nolton Semien and Mary Jane Ardoin Broussard, and the other in May 2007 with a new band, the Louisiana Cane Cutters.
La Danse Finit Pas: Classic Louisiana Creole Music, the 2006 CD, includes songs that Joe learned by visiting the Archives of Cajun and Creole Folklore at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, especially recordings of Freeman Fontenot (1900-1986), a Creole musician from the Basile area who, was famous for his dance hall and for his work in preserving Creole culture (he is interviewed in Ann Savoy’s Cajun Music: A Reflection of a People).
In addition to dedicating the CD to Freeman Fontenot’s memory, Joe Hall performs three Freeman Fontenot accordion solos: “La femme des autres,” “Les deux cousins,” and “Fais-do-do bébé” (a mazurka). Hall draws on his own direct musical ancestry to perform “King Ned’s One-Step,” a song by his grandfather, Clement Ned, on which fiddler Mitch Reed beautifully doubles the accordion melody.
