In 2007, the Arts Council of New Orleans honored Wardell Quezergue at its Community Arts Awards. Here is the tribute video that Robbie Denny and Donna Schlaudecker created in his honor, focusing on Quezergue’s “Creole Mass” project.

Here’s a second video with Quezergue, this from a recording session for After the Math: The St. Agnes Sessions, released in 2010. The track is “Doc’s Delight,” and the video includes short interviews with Dr. John and Craig Klein. Herman Ernest is featured on this track on drums.

A funeral Mass for Quezergue, who died yesterday, is scheduled for Monday, September 12 at 11 a.m. at Corpus Christi Catholic Church (2022 Saint Bernard Ave.).
