“In the pantheon of New Orleans music people, from Jelly Roll Morton to Mahalia Jackson to Fats — that’s the place where Allen Toussaint is in,” said Quint Davis, the longtime producer of the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, where Mr. Toussaint played almost every year since the mid-1970s. Mr. Toussaint’s career began when he was a teenager in the ’50s and his jaunty piano playing caught the ear of Dave Bartholomew, Fats Domino’s producer. It continued to the present, with a late-blooming love for performing live and collaborating with rock and pop musicians like Elvis Costello.

Mr. Toussaint had his greatest impact in the ’60s and ’70s, when, as both songwriter and producer, he worked on records, like Ernie K-Doe’s “Mother-in-Law,” Lee Dorsey’s “Working in the Coal Mine” and Jessie Hill’s “Ooh Poo Pah Doo,” that described everyday pleasures and nuisances with empathy, wit and a loose, funky swing. During the ’70s Mr. Toussaint’s studio, Sea-Saint, which he founded with the producer Marshall Sehorn, became renowned for recordings by the Meters, Dr. John and Labelle, and attracted international pop stars like Paul McCartney and Robert Palmer. Mr. Toussaint, then still a largely behind-the-scenes figure in music, also found his way to No. 1 on the pop charts in 1977 when Glen Campbell recorded a cover of his song “Southern Nights.”

Mr. Toussaint’s inspiration, he often said, was New Orleans itself, and over the years he became an unofficial musical ambassador for the city, where for decades he maintained a modest home in a middle-class neighborhood.

A compilation of tremendous New Orleans R&B and soul recordings in the post-Fats Domino era by Cosimo Code website founders: author John Broven, Red Soul Detective Kelly and John Sir Shambling Ridley. The website (www.cosimocode.com) is devoted to collating the 1960s recordings made at the studios of Grammy winner and hall of famer Cosimo Matassa. The master number code was cracked by Scotsman Davie Gordon with help from Ace Records Peter Gibbon, and inspired by the New Orleans Rhythm & Blues Record Label Listings publication by Ace's Ray Topping.

The newly remastered pivotal New Orleans hits by Jessie Hill, Lee Dorsey, Robert Parker and Aaron Neville are joined by influential local recordings by Earl King, Reggie Hall, Danny White, Oliver Morgan, Willie Tee and Johnny Adams. The Eddie Bo and Inez Cheatham track is a big funk anthem. Among the lesser-known recordings are those by the Party Boys, Joe Haywood, Dave Bartholomew (with a hot remake of his favourite, The Monkey ) and Ronnie Barron (whose Did She Mention My Name is written and produced by Mac Dr John Rebennack). Features stellar producers Allen Toussaint, Harold Battiste, Dave Bartholomew and notably Wardell Quezergue, with outstanding session men including Nat Perilliat and Red Tyler (saxes), George Davis (guitar) and Smokey Johnson (drums).
