Having won many prizes at the Paris Conservatoire during the 1920s-1930s, Eugène Bozza went on to conduct the orchestra of the Opéra-Comique and to become Head of the Conservatoire in Valenciennes. As a major figure on the classical music frontline, Bozza's compositions were well-received by audiences, New Orleans being popular in the bass brass repertoire. This Bozza piece for bass brass with Piano accompaniment was written in 1962. It was orginally composed for Bass Saxhorn but since the instrument was falling into obscurity, Bozza also adapted it for Bass Trombone and Tuba. New Orleans is influenced by the jazz culture of the city. As music educationalist, Paul Griffiths has written of Bozza's compositions, his works reveal melodic fluency, elegance of structure and a consistenly sensitive concern of instrumental capabilities. New Orleans for Bass Trombone, Tuba, or Bass Saxhorn and Piano remains popular in the repertoire of the instruments and is often included in audition syllabuses, making it essential to aspiring performers of bass brass.

French pianist arranger composer and conductor Jean-Michel Defaye (b. 1932) entered the Paris Conservatoire at the mere age of ten years old. His successful compositions and arrangements were mainly for brass Deux Danses composed in 1954 and adapted for Bass Trombone and Piano by Donald Knaub being no exception. With a typical performance lasting about eight minutes Defaye's Deux Danses are named Sacred Dance and Secular Dance. Defaye's understanding of the Trombone is clear throughout the work with use of exciting techniques and contrasts. For all aspiring bass trombonists wishing tovary and expand their repertoire Deux Danses by Jean-Michel Defaye is essential.
