Neville Brothers will release album
NEW ORLEANS - The Neville Brothers are busy these days.
The Associated Press
Take the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival for instance. Today, Charles Neville appears with his group Diversity. Later in the day, Cyril and the Uptown Allstars will be on the Congo Square Stage. Then Sunday they all get together to close out the Festival.
Add to that a couple of appearances at Tippitina's, the uptown music club, to perform and to push their latest album, and the rehearsals for a six-month tour of the United States and Europe.
"We are really busy," said Art Neville, who with brother Aaron round out the group. "You won't hear me complaining, though. I remember when we weren't busy at all. I've been waiting for this for a long time. It's fun, real."
The versatile brothers, who combine the sounds of jazz, Caribbean, African, Cajun, rock and funk in a uniquely New Orleans sound, brushed against fame and fortune for over 30 years.
"We're New Orleans people. When youre New Orleans people you want to be here for certain things, like Mardi Gras and Jazz Fest."
In 1962, when "All These Things" was climbing the charts, Art Neville was operating an elevator at a New Orleans department store.
"Tell It Like It Is" sold 40,000 copies the first week it was released in 1966. Aaron Neville listened to his hit while working as a longshoreman, loading coffee and cotton at the docks.
"You may be a great singer, but if you don't eat, you

don'tlast," Artremembers.
The Nevilles have lasted and triumphed, but like so many New Orleans musicians it was a long, arduous
"It's a tremendous album," Art said. "There's some songs on it that are going to make people sit up and listen."
The Neville Brothers grew up hard and grew up singing
Raised in the tough Calliope Housing Project, Art, 54, the oldest, said kids learned to do two things early — fight and sing.
"Icould fight,but Iliked singing better." he said.
Aaron and Cyril both used drugs. Aaron and Charles both did time in jail. And, even while they made music, they worked at other jobs.
Art said they all started singing on the concrete benches of the project and by the time they were out of school they had their music and their troubles.
Art worked as a television and radio repairman. Aaron drove a truck, worked in construction and on the docks. Cyril delivered for a drugstore and cleaned graveyards and boxcars.
"We made music, but we couldn't live on what we made from it," Art said. "It was funny, I used to be sitting at work sometimes and listening to one of us on the radio."
About 16 years ago that began to change, Art said. The brothers still work separately at times, but now the team works together.
And, he said, Jazz Fest is like home to his family.
"The main thing is the Neville Brothers. This is family, it's what counts," he said. "Us being family is what has kept us strong over the years."
An, he said. jazz is like nice to his family.
"We're New Orleans people. When you're New Orleans people you want to be here for certain things, like mardi Gras and Jazz." Fest. "I said.
And when the Neville Brothers are at Jazz Fest, people want to be there for it.
"It's a special place," Art said. "You look out and all you see is happy, smiling faces — people having fun. Then Aaron can sing a ballad and 30,000 people will be so quiet you can hear a pin drop. It's a blessing."

Tracy Chapman's first two albums proved that hers is music you can believe in. "Matters of the Hears" captures ten charming songs in subtle arrangements that bring out the immediacy of her folk-rock melodies and literate, lyrical compassion.
