Born Malcolm John Rebennack Jr, in New Orleans, on November 20, 1941, John started out playing guitar and bass as a teenager. His life took a dramatic turn in 1960, when his left index finger was hit by a bullet as he protected bandmate Ronnie Barron during a brawl. That injury forced him to switch to playing the piano – and he went on to become on...
In 1968, following the release of his debut album, Gris-Gris, he introduced the world to his outlandish stage alter ego, Dr. John Creaux The Night Tripper, capturing the weirdness and vibrancy of the Latin Quarter in his shows. He weaved voodoo incantations and bayou patois into a mix of piano, percussion, horns, and vocal chants that fused New Orl...

When he recorded Duke Elegant, for Blue Note Records, he included classics such as “Satin Doll,...
His final album, 2014’s Ske-Dat-De-Dat: The Spirit Of Satch, released on Concord/UMe, was a tribute to New Orleans trumpeter Louis Armstrong. The album was co-produced by Dr. John, along with his musical director and trombone player, Sarah Morrow, and features guest musicians including The Blind Boys Of Alabama, Terence Blanchard, and Bonnie Raitt....
When this writer met Dr. John at Ronnie Scott’s Club in London, after interviewing him about Armstrong, he was full of amusing stories about the musicians he had worked with, such as Van Morrison. For a man who had lived a wild life, with his share of drug-taking and voodoo spells, I was surprised to see a bowl of fresh, raw vegetables on the dress...
