Lucien Barbarin (July 17, 1956 – January 30, 2020) was an American trombone player.[1] Barbarin toured internationally with the Preservation Hall Jazz Band and with Harry Connick Jr.[1]
He made his debut at the age of six, playing drums in the Onward Brass Band, with his great-uncle Paul Barbarin.[1]
In New Orleans, Barbarin performed locally.[1] After Hurricane Katrina severely damaged his home in 2005, he said: "I'm not running from New Orleans. [...] I'm going to stay because I was born and raised here and I'm going to pass away here."[1] He died from prostate cancer on January 30, 2020. He was just 63 years old.[2]
The cut from the CD from Harry Connick, Jr. is presumably dedicated to him.
