Scenes involving nature and food are most likely to make it into depictions of Louisiana. Of living in southern Louisiana, I recall going for long walks and also picking pecans, small cherries, and mulberries, fishing, and eating boiled crawfish and crabs. I have been in New Orleans only a few times, and remember pink flamingoes in a zoo and eating fried crab cakes. New Orleans is the jewel of Louisiana, and is the first place people ask about when they know you were born, as I was, in Louisiana, which has significant agricultural, manufacturing, marine, mining, and fuel businesses (cane, pepper, corn, cloth, seafood, salt, and oil). John, Mahalia Jackson, Ernie K-Doe, Jelly Roll Morton, Joe “King” Oliver, Lloyd Price, Louis Prima, and Professor Longhair. Musicians born in or associated with New Orleans include the great Louis Armstrong, and Sidney Bechet, Buddy Bolden, the Boswell Sisters, Harry Connick Jr., Fats Domino, Dr. New Orleans is also known for rhythm and blues, and not long after hurricane Katrina hit, in early September a film on that music scene, Make It Funky, was opening in Manhattan, and featured Irma Thomas, Allen Toussaint, and the Neville Brothers. The jazz tradition of musical texts given varied interpretations, and of individuality and improvisation in group performance, can be models for social participation and understanding, just as the fact of the city’s multiculturalism is evidence that-in cultural terms-sharing is possible. That’s why it swept the country and the world representing the best of the United States.” The collision of these cultures created jazz and jazz is important because it’s the only art form that objectifies the fundamental principals of American democracy. It’s of a singular importance to the United States of America because it was the original melting pot with a mixture of Spanish, French, British, West African and American people living in the same city.

Not long after the hurricane hit on August 29, 2005, the New Orleans-born classical and jazz music trumpeter Wynton Marsalis, who is also an arts educator and administrator connected to Lincoln Center in Manhattan, said in a public statement-available on, as of September 6, 2005, when I read it-that “New Orleans is the most unique of American cities because it is the only city in the world that created its own full culture-architecture, music and festive ceremonies. When hurricane Katrina, fragile levees, bad management, and a sordid history led to the flooding of New Orleans, the country and the rest of the world saw a segregation of peoples and a poverty in America that they had not had to face in many years, so much so that it had been forgotten. Each place has its own culture, its own economy, its own environment, and its own politics and yet, even in America, we rarely know the details of these cities and their people and we know even less about the small towns and villages that surround them.
