At some point, we may not need fossil fuels, we can get by without it. We're not there. All the planes, trains and automobiles that run almost all use fossil fuels. And if this was going to help keep that cost down for production of products and travel and everything else, that's a lot of dollars in the United States that would have been saved.

Bart Ramsey

Bart Ramsey (born November 3, 1954) is a New Orleans composer, author, singer and jazz musician who formed the gypsy swing band Zazou City. Through his countless performances of Ramsey's original compositions in New Orleans, and especially in the Faubourg Marigny area of the city, Gypsy Swing has recently become solidly infused into the New Orleans jazz repertoire. In Zazou City, Ramsey performs on piano and accordion, backed by a four or five piece band that moves between upbeat and mellow tunes. He has recently toured Italy, performing with the famed Gramo Gramentieri and other virtuosi. Bart Ramsey performed at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival on May 4, 2012 with Zazou City, where the performance garnered a standing ovation. He has performed with many New Orleans musicians through the years of 1988–present, including the New Orleans Jazz Vipers. He has written several novels and recorded numerous solo and band albums.
