[Jazz musician Wynton Marsalis says it's very] painful ... New Orleans is like the soul of our country.

It hurts me, it's my hometown. I know the spirit of New Orleans in in all of us.

Obviously, New Orleans, from a musical standpoint, is the melting pot when we talk about America.

Our city will come back, but it will take the entire country. When you take New Orleans from America, our soul equation goes down.

And then the West Africans were allowed to play their music in Congo Square. That happened nowhere else in the United States. That was the true key ingredient. The music and all the traditions and the sense of self-worth that comes with being able to have your own art form and customs and traditions, that was a part of the Afro American that lived in New Orleans.
