Impossible not to love this woman!! As Beethoven said, 'To play a wrong note is insignificant. To play without passion, is unforgivable'. She's 0 for 2!
Why must you make me cut onions on a Sunday Morning?! 😭Talk about a dream come true -- well-deserved! Way to go, Doreen and her band! Love this so much.
I can’t tell you how much I loved this story. The best for my Sunday morning. Thank you & thank you Doreen for representing my childhood hometown, New Orleans!
Great segment! Ted Koppel and his team deserve high praise. Doreen is a delight! Her amazing talent and her fellow musicians delivered a memorable experience. A well-deserved dream fulfillment!
She has been doing this for her whole life, starting with classical training and then gigging in NOLA for decades, day after day after day after year after year after year. This, ladies and gentlemen, is what an "overnight success" looks like.
I was just in New Orleans the beginning of May and I saw her!!! Then this morning I’m watching Sunday Morning and there she is! I took a picture and video of her and her band. I will keep it forever!!!
Congratulations, Mrs. Ketchens and Band! Well deserved! We had the pleasure of hearing you in 2013 in the French Quarter. We love you! We love the CD we purchased.
play that house down Ms. Doreen!!! 🤩 the way you can just feel the spirit of new orleans, the spirit of louis armstrong, the spirit of jazz just flowing through that horn just did something to me.
I am on the interstate in New Orleans listening to this video and I'm looking at the New Orleans skyline with a beautiful sunset in front of me Miss Doreen you made New Orleans proud. Congratulations 🎉
My eyes welled up when I listened to the story. I thought it was because of the onions in my breakfast burritos; but purple onions never do that to me. Thank you CBS for sharing this story. Congratulations Doreen on achieving your dream!
Congratulations fellow NOCCA alum! I saw you in 2012 or so, on Royal St. My heart is still at home and I still hope to move back, soon I hope. This makes me so very happy for you! Edited for typos due to cerebral palsy.
Oooh man, I couldn't pass up commenting. This was so refreshing to see after all the things we all be through. It just gives us a little more hope and strength to pull through.
You go, gal!! Love to see a woman headlining, taking her place among the jazz greats. Congratulations to you and your band. My dad got me into New Orleans jazz (and also big band music), so I'm going to enjoy the topic, but I truly loved this story so much because of you! May you have continued success and many more dream gigs come true!
Love to see her with her combo, she is fantastic in front of an orchestra but playing with the musicians that know her best is the ultimate treat. Brava Ms Ketchens, carry on making 'em sizzle!
🖤🖤🖤 I am so obsessed by her! She has just so off the charts amazing. She deserves to be performing in big concert halls. I love her tradition, though of playing on the streets of New Orleans.
We stumbled upon Doreen while visiting New Orleans a few years ago and have enjoyed her music and talent ever since. So happy to see her experience what she has worked so hard to rightfully deserve.
I knew all my friend knew so many she is great we would say what ya want do and we would say go hear her play and hang out with her the band and lots of other people from everywhere to hear them we love her
She EIGHT MILLION percent deserved it! She is an American TREASURE. Hopefully a few clarinet players see what she’s done and really start to believe in themselves.
This is amazing to have a dream come true, so happy for and the band. The first time I saw a UA-cam video of her playing in New Orleans I was a fan, and I don't say that lightly. 😢❤
This is so awesome! Fantastic! Couldn't happen to a better person! Or band! I love that she has all that music inside her and she doesn't even need sheet music.
Certainly Wynton Marsalis, a New Orleans native and managing/artistic director of Jazz at the Lincoln Center, knows about Ms. Doreen and has tried to get her there. Certainly! Certainly. If not, I may have to challenge him to a duel next time I see him.

Doreen's playing would make Sidney Bechet proud. Hope the Kennedy Center gig opens up new touring vistas!
You know that Bechet played soprano saxophone, don't you?

@@farshimelt True, Bechet played soprano sax; he started out on clarinet.

Bless this lady for keeping the true roots of all modern jazz alive and well; and with such prowess too.
I first saw a video of her back in 2014/2015 she is in a class of her own. Fantastically talented I would love to see her!
Beautiful story. Nice introduction of talented Doreen to some of us who hadn't seen or heard her play before.
Saw her play live in Nola, the best. New Orleans musicians are the cream of the crop.
