'''Carl LeBlanc..New Orleans 7th Ward Griot

The Man,The Musician,The Majesty that Is Carl Le Blanc Was Manifested May 26 In New Orleans,Louisiana.

Carl was wailing on guitar before he was ten years old, having first noticed the instrument in the hands of the Beatles during their debut on The Ed Sullivan Show. And it wasn't for lack of exposure; some of the best marching bands in New Orleans were known to parade beneath his window as he was growing up in the Seventh Ward. But without the family history that had steeped many members of the band in jazz tradition from Day One, Le Blanc drew his inspiration from funk and rock music.

from stints with the avant-garde visionary Sun Ra to Playing with:Fats Domino, Allen Toussaint, Screaming Jay Hawkins, Bo Diddley and Ellis Marsalis Plus acting appearances in stage productions and films.Now some twenty years Later The Preservation HallJazz Band Came calling. With the hair trimmed,and The Vice-Like Firm Grasp of his Craft tuned correctly,Mr.LeBlanc Accepted The Challenge. Long Story Short... his appreciation for tradition Was considerably deepened. Today, when not on tour Le Blanc applies his Southern University degree in music education and graduate study at New York's Columbia University to conducting workshops at the Contemporary Arts Center in New Orleans and at facilities throughout the United States as well as conducting music education performances throughout the United States.
