Musicians fear New Orleans jazz traditions will die

A woman dances to the sounds of the Rebirth Brass Band from New Orleans at the 32nd Annual Village Halloween Parade in New York October 31, 2005. The floodwaters that swept through this city nearly three months ago destroyed not only homes but also the instruments local musicians use to make a living, and cast doubt on the future of New Orleans' vivid musical traditions. REUTERS/Seth WenigPhilip Frazier, who leads the New Orleans jazz group ReBirth Brass, was one of the lucky ones. His house and tuba survived Hurricane Katrina mostly intact.
