A base of New Orleans R&B and funk, a healthy portion of jazz and rock & roll, a dash of zydeco and boogie woogie, and a big pinch of voodoo to taste, cooked low and slow, and served up by one of the most distinctive voices in American music. Here's a big bowl of "Dr. John's Gumbo" to celebrate the legend's 77th birthday.
