Doug's appearance with piano legend Henry Butler at the 2011 New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival was featured in the August 2011 issue of Bass Player Magazine. Jimmy Leslie writes "Another Living Colour member - Doug Wimbish - demonstrated his versatility by laying down authentic Mardi Gras second lines for local piano legend Henry Butler, whose sanctified set in the Blues Tent proved why he will someday sit at the right hand of Fest legend Professor Longhair."
