New Orleans-based singer-songwriter, bandleader and trumpeter, Kermit Ruffins continues to make music that heals hearts in The Big Easy. Backed by a formidable band, Ruffins performs funk and Mardi Gras-style music equally well. A cover of Johnny Nash’s “I Can See Clearly Now” is one of the gems, as is a cool take on jazzman Horace Silver’s “Song For My Father.” –forrest green III
