Dr John
An unlikely contributor to the hippy civilization was the eclectic jazz and rhythm'n'blues pianist Dr John (Mac Rebennack), heir to the glorious New Orleans tradition, who had moved from New Orleans to Los Angeles in 1965.
Dr John concocted Gris Gris (1968), an exuberant carnival of creole folklore that runs the gamut from orgiastic jams to swamp/voodoo blues, from African rhythms to Mardi Gras-style fanfares, notably the seven-minute I Walk on Guilded Splinters.

Dr John would endorse the relaxed soul-funk-rock of the "realignment" age, for example on In the Right Place (1973), and eventually land a career as a distinguished jazz musician, notably with the solo piano collection Plays Mac Rebennack (1981).
