From WHYY in Philadelphia, this is FRESH AIR weekend.
I'm Tonya Moseley.
Today we're joined by a New Orleans institution, clarinetist and vocalist Doreen Ketchens.
She's got several nicknames, Lady Louie, Queen,
clarinet and Ms. Satchmo, all after her biggest idol, Louis Armstrong.
Like the jazz great, Doreen has the gift of hitting long, high notes.
She and her band,
Doreen's Jazz New Orleans have performed on the corner of Royal
and St. Peter's street in the French Quarter for almost four decades.
And we'll also talk with Natasha Rothwell.
She returns to HBO's the White Lotus as Belinda,
a spa manager who was duped in season one by a wealthy visitor played by Jennifer Coolidge.
And book critic Maureen Corrigan.
Reviews last seen a book about newly freed black Americans
in the 1860s who took out ads to find lost family members.
That's coming up on FRESH AIR weekend.
