New Orleans native Dr. Michael White is one of countless musicians who suffered irreplaceable losses from the devastation of Hurricane Katrina in 2005, as flood waters destroyed the musicologist's vast collection of vintage instruments, recordings, sheet music, books, films, original compositions and more. But his attitude is refreshing, as White is happy to have his health and memories, so this CD project obviously serves as part of the healing process for him. A number of New Orleans natives took part in this project, including trumpeter Nicholas Payton, trombonist Lucien Barbarin, bassist Roland Guerin and drummer Jason Marsalis, among others. White's music represents his own reflections of life in New Orleans, incorporating many of the traditions and emotions heard in the music, rather than merely being focused on the storm, as several other projects have.
