From the Mouthpiece On Back, a feature-length documentary about courage, hope, optimism, love, respect, some wind and water – and kick-ass brassy jazz music alive from New Orleans.

“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

“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.“
– Questlove, The Roots
