The sort of documentary that informs and educates through sheer passion, excitement, and, yes, downright funkiness.

Daniel Eagan

Lively tribute to New Orleans' musical traditions takes on an added poignancy in the wake of Hurricane Katrina.

Watching it now, with the devastation behind us, is a bittersweet affair.

Michael Murphy's documentary about the musical traditions of New Orleans can serve as an apt, wrenching elegy for the city's unique contribution to American culture.
