When the Saints Go Marching Out
From The Economist: "The New Orleans Musicians' Relief Fund album will be called “ReDefine 8/29”, referring to the day New Orleans was evacuated. Jeff Beninato, the musician who founded NOMRF, says that the title could not refer directly to the hurricane. 'If they hear Katrina, they'll think, ‘I don't want to hear that; that's old news.' "But spare a thought for that most iconic of New Orleans institutions, the funeral with music. A brass band playing sombre dirges leads the mourners and the body tearfully through the streets, from church to cemetery. The body goes into the ground, and the tone changes: the music becomes upbeat, and the mourners turn to revellers, celebrating the life of the departed. Neither Dixieland nor New Orleans is yet a corpse, of course, but nowhere else is quite as adept at wringing joy from tragedy."
The New York Times interviewed NOMRF for a Katrina musician article, Entertainment Weekly has also covered the Fund with an REM Video for NOMRF and Mercy Corps.
