New Orleans, Louisiana

Previous

This is a city built on a culture of music heard everywhere from the clubs, on the streets, to the famous jazz funerals.  We arrived at a time when the city was healing itself from Hurricane Katrina and discovered the music was playing a crucial role in this recovery.   Around any corner you will see and hear music emerging from the hearts and souls of the people that make New Orleans the special place it is.
