The last Fred/Alan holiday party! 1991
As we’ve posted before, we never really understood the “standard” protocols of running a successful agency, wining and dining clients with expensive dinners, golfing outings (you’ve got to kidding!) and annual holiday gifts. Our version was killer holiday parties.
Things really hit a peak in 1987, when former Ed Levine, account executive and former music promoter/producer/now food writer, suggested we book Dr. John* for our soiree. Creative director Noel Frankel illustrated an amazing invitation (with Wite-Out®!), and we booked a belly dancing school studio on 8th Avenue. Sylvia’s catered the soul food, the doctor’s band came on their night off and blew the ceiling off the place. What a night!

Afterwards, we wondered if the parties could get any better, but from that year on we tried pretty hard to top ourselves. By our last party we just might have done it.
We didn’t know it was our last hurrah. We’d just moved into a new space that we’d designed for ourselves, we were celebrating. For the December 1991 party the entertainment booked was the Calypso Kind of the World, Mighty Sparrow, known to getting entire Caribbean stadiums on their feet to dance. By the end of his contracted second set in a downtown restaurant, Sparrow’s shirt had come off, the crowd was sweating as much as he was, and he assured us he wasn’t done yet and came back for another couple of hours!
For some reason, Art Director Tom Godici thought it would be worth his time to burn the edges of all 500 holiday poster invitations by hand. We weren’t arguing, Tom always made sure his work was up to his personal creative standards. He lived them.
*Ed and Dr. John/MacRebennack had done a couple of wonderful records together, and Ed later suggested him for a fantastic campaign we did for TV Heaven.

Dr. John / Gumbo (1972) このアルバムでニューオーリンズの音楽の楽しさや奥深さを知りました。コロコロ転がるピアノやセカンド・ライン・ビートもプロフェッサー・ロングヘアー、ポール・ゲイトゥン、ヒューイ・スミスもすべてこのレコードから。最高の音楽の教科書。 #DrJohn#MacRebennack#HueySmith#ProfessorLonghair#EarlKing#AhmetErtegun #vinyl#vinylcollection#coverart#albumart#33rpm#lp#nowspinning#nowplaying#アナログ盤#レコード#records #rock#pop#funk#blues#soul#luisianablues#neworleans#AtlanticRecords#1972 #宮古島#coffee#コーヒー#rip (宮古島) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByenyyCJ8nc/?igshid=f1r7i987x1su

Our spiritual and musical inspiration has left the meat world. Thank you Mac for the music, language, utter coolness, and giving back. Things will never be even close to the same without you. #drjohn #neworleans #macrebennack #funk Michael P.

In 1991 I had just moved to Los Angeles and went to see Dr. John play at The Strand because a friend had tickets. He went on an hour and a half late, sauntering out with that voodoo cane while the band vamped, then sat down at the piano and blew that place away. By the end of the show, I was an utterly changed person, and my long love affair with New Orleans music had begun. Nothing I can say will really do justice to how much Mac Rebennack meant to me. RIP, Night Tripper.🎹 . . . #drjohn #macrebennack #nighttripper #neworleans #neworleanspiano #hero #voodoo #rip #ripdrjohn https://www.instagram.com/p/ByY7WXgjo-b/?igshid=1ge9ual74pxnn
