I thoroughly enjoyed this film and was doubly pleased to see it in the great city of New Orleans. One Note At A Time premiered as a featured documentary during the annual New Orleans Film Festival.

This beautifully photographed story of New Orleans jazz, the devastation of hurricane Katrina and the rebuilding of lives and communities was emotionally touching and engaging. The backdrop for the dialogue was the New Orleans Musicians Clinic, a care giving facility that helped musicians rebuild their health, their lives and their love of community.

The actors--musicians, doctors, nurses, locals and patrons--told their stories themselves. And they were simply amazing.

The mighty Mississippi showed the power of nature and of the years taking their toll. Time-lapsed photography filled the screen with the strong currents of the river, the light of dawn and dusk, showing the beauty of the city.

Shelton "Shakespeare" Alexander contributed greatly with his spoken word that added to the story telling.

This is a great film and I highly recommend it.

One Note at a Time captures important moments in New Orleans' cultural landscape right after Hurricane Katrina almost washed it out, never to return again. The film also features the unique story of the New Orleans Musicians' Clinic, an important health care resource for local musicians and their efforts to keep local music alive. Highly recommended. A labor of love 10 years in the making! A documentary for any true cultural historian or jazz fan!

Funny, sad, educational and inspirational we get to see how New Orleans was really affected by Hurricane Katrina. The priceless contributors and beautiful cinematography bring together a story of struggle, injustice, hope and the selflessness of charity trying to get through the worst of times imaginable. Go see this and download the gorgeous soundtrack. I only hope that the New Orleans Musicians Clinic can keep going somehow.
