day 4: Saturday, October 8 Jazz & the Story of
Survival Today... tremé Ken Burns has commented that jazz takes the principle of improvisation “and elevates it… and isn’t that natural, that the people that invent it – the community that it was born in – should have the peculiar experience of being un-free in a free land? Well, if you’re un-free in a free land, you’ve got to improvise a lot more than anybody else.” Today, explore Tremé – America’s oldest neighborhood of “free people of color,” and home to some of New Orleans’ most recognizable cultural legacies... and to stories of survival in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, portrayed in the TV series Tremé. Experiences include a tour and lecture at the New Orleans African American Museum; visits to the Backstreet Cultural Museum and St. Augustine Catholic Church; and drives through Tremé and Faubourg Marigny, with its Frenchmen Street jazz clubs. Tonight... a Farewell Dinner Cruise on the Steamboat Natchez with music by the Dukes of Dixieland and Doreen’s Jazz New Orleans.
