Recorded 5/2/94 at Tower Records, New Orleans, by Tony Brooke with Cory Smith. Six of the twelve tracks on "Smokin: The Sounds of New Orleans II" were from a series of New Orleans Jazz Festival live broadcasts and recordings for WWOZ-FM by Tony Brooke.
From the liner notes by John Sinclair:
"The Zion Harmonizers' selection, "Brother Moses Smote the Water," was recorded at the same Tower Records engagement [as the Tony Dagradi track on this album] and was also broadcast 'live' on WWOZ. A great set of this historic group's current repertoire, along with the studio version of this cut, can be heard on Best of New Orleans Gospel, Volume Two, on Mardi Gras Records."
