Jazz on Film: Tremé at 200
Set in New Orleans, David Simon's fictional HBO series Treme, now in its third season, picked up three months after the floods that resulted from the levee failures after Hurricane Katrina. Culture, which in New Orleans means a tight braid of music, cuisine, dance, visual art, and street life, is the primary focus of the series, as indeed it was and is the defining element of the city's recovery and renewed identity. On November 13th , the National Jazz Museum takes a look at Tremé at 200: October marked the bicentennial of Tremé, the New Orleans neighborhood from which Simon's series derives it name and among this country's oldest African American urban communities. Guest Davis Rogan (the basis for Treme's Davis McAlary, and a Tremé resident) will help consider both legacy and current events in Tremé.
Part of the bi-monthly series The National Jazz Museum Presents Jazz on Film. Feature length and short documentary and narrative films for, by, and about the giants and unsung heros of jazz. All unpacked and explored by The National Jazz Museum in Harlem's finest jazz experts and jazz musicians.
