He has also played with some of the best brass bands known to the city of New Orleans such as The Original Royal Players, Mohagany Brass Band, James Andrews Band, Kirk Joseph and the Backyard Groove, The New Orleans Jazz Ramblers , The New Orleans All-Stars , and The Eureka Brass Band. Rasheed has performed at world famous Preservation Hall and recently at New Orleans Jazzfest 2008. Rasheed now needs a liver transplant. Please help by clicking on the Home page link, spread the word and make a donation. Rasheed would like to express his gratitude for all the support and love everyone has shown him and his family during this trying time. There are no words that can measure the kindness and consideration you all have shown. He just would like to say, "Do you know what it means to miss New Orleans?" |
