About This Song
About "Beignet" by Dr. John
A beignet is a small, sweet cloud of fried dough, and Dr. John's piano captures that same airy indulgence. This solo piece from 'Plays Mac Rebennack' is playful and precise, a gumbo of ragtime and blues. The tension lies in the restraint—each note a powdered-sugar dusting, light but deliberate.
