THE MAGIC OF COSIMO MATASSA
- On April 12, 2015, a panel discussion about Cosimo was held in New Orleans as part of the French Quarter Festival's Let Them Talk: Conversations on Louisiana Music series... Moderated by John Broven, the panel featured Allen Toussaint and Deacon John (who surprised all of us with impromptu performances of a couple of Minit classics), along with a presentation about The Code by Red Kelly. In the words of program director Fred Kasten, the sold-out event was just 'off the charts', and a great time was had by all. Embedded below is a full-length video of the event...

The Cosimo Code would like to thank Allen Toussaint, Deacon John Moore, Fred Kasten, Connie Atkinson, French Quarter Festivals, Inc., The New Orleans Jazz Historical Park, The Midlo Center for New Orleans Studies, and The Louisiana State Museum for affording us the opportunity to honor Cosimo in such an absolutely fun and relaxed setting...
- Long Live New Orleans!
