The four men who comprise Nolatet were in each other's lives, either in close proximity or as distant heroes for many years. Johnny Vidacovich and James Singleton have been New Orleans' best rhythm section since 1977 having been the backbone of their own ensemble Astral Project, as well as supporting artists ranging from James Booker to Professor Longhair to Dizzy Gillespie and Jon Cleary. Mike Dillon and Brian Haas — who initially looked to Singleton and Vidacovich as heroes before sharing stages with them — have been playing co-bills and sitting in with each other's bands on the same touring circuit for over 20 years, ranging from Punkadelick to Jacob Fred Jazz Odyssey and numerous points in between. All four musicians are fiercely independent
