Loading...		Saints Alive: After the Storm XI

		August 26th, 2009 ~ This week we commemorate the anniversary of Hurricane Katrina in music and conversation with piano professor Allen Toussaint, who shares his thoughts about the recovery of his beloved city and his recent turn toward New Orleans jazz classics on his release The Bright Mississippi. Then, up and coming jazz trumpeter and Lower 9th Ward native Shamarr Allen stops by the American Routes studios to tell of his life both before and after the storm, as well as his hopes for his hometown. Plus music and songs that reflect our shared sense of loss for what has gone, and that celebrate the continuing recovery of the Crescent City. Listen To Hour 1 Listen To Hour 2 Share This

This equals 25 square miles annually, the fastest rate of land loss in America. The Gulf Restoration Network is currently working to spread awareness about the problems plaguing our coastline and the need for a national commitment to the necessary solutions. You can learn more in their documentary, Paradise Faded , or from the National Wetlands Research Center .
