Da Blog Musik met Shlomo (27) - Hurricane Katrina spoelt jazzgeschiedenis weg in New Orleans

Hurricane Katrina heeft ook een groot deel van de jazz-geschiedenis weggespoeld in New Orleans. Een reaktie van Harry Connick jr., zelf afkomstig uit New Orleans.

Harry Connick jr.
I haven't slept in days. Although I now finally know that my immediate family in New Orleans is safe, I have not heard from many, many friends and other family members. It is hard to sit in silence, to watch one's youth wash away. New Orleans is my essence, my soul, my muse, and I can only dream that one day she will recapture her glory. I will do everything within my power to make that happen and to help in any way I can to ease the suffering of my city, my people!
