From the Mouthpiece On Back is an “inspiring” “incredible” feature-length documentary about the remarkable To Be Continued Brass Band’s courageous triumph over Hurricane Katrina–but it’s much more than that: it’s a tribute to their spirit, humor, and unique blend of jazz and hip-hop that keeps alive the spirit of New Orleans’ singular jazz heritage.
Join us in honoring this same spirit demonstrated by our own National Football Conference Champions–the New Orleans Saints! Good luck and best wishes from all of us in Super Bowl XLIV!

“If younger cats like us give up and stop playing our music, New Orleans will be losing a lot of its history.”
– Jason Slack, TBC Brass Band
“[TBC’s] music was extremely impressive, enough to get us thinking about doing a Paul Simon-type album that takes The Roots in a whole different musical direction. And their personal stories, with the social issues they brought up, got us to writing the darkest, most downtrodden, in-your-face and political music we’ve ever done.“
– ?uestlove, The Roots
“The memory of things gone is important to a jazz musician. Things like old folks singing in the moonlight in the back yard on a hot night or something said long ago.”
– Louis Armstrong
