dc.description	Th e inspiration for this book can be traced to Sidney Bechet’s refl ections about New Orleans music in Treat It Gentle: An Autobiography: jazz is “there in that bend in the road” in the Ameri can South and “you gott a treat it gentle.”1 Like the saxophonist Bechet, I have traveled many roads to understand New Orleans music and the joy and pain “alongside it.”2 I owe thanks to the city of New Orleans, my home from 1996 to 1999, for an extraordinary culture and community that I will never forget. Th e beautiful sounds of jazz and African drumming fl oating in the air and the joyful experience of the second line are always waiting for me on the road home to the Crescent City. My mother’s death in 1997, the Parker family’s love, and the spirit world of African Ameri can religion led me to that “bend in the road” along the Mississippi River that is the “music itself.”3	en_US
