"Roll With It" is a firsthand account of the precarious lives of
musicians in the Rebirth, Soul Rebels, and Hot 8 brass bands of New
Orleans. These young men are celebrated as cultural icons for
upholding the proud traditions of the jazz funeral and the second
line parade, yet they remain subject to the perils of poverty,
racial marginalization, and urban violence that characterize life
for many black Americans. Some achieve a degree of social mobility
while many more encounter aggressive policing, exploitative
economies, and a political infrastructure that creates insecurities
in healthcare, housing, education, and criminal justice. The
gripping narrative moves with the band members from back street to
backstage, before and after Hurricane Katrina, always in step with
the tap of the snare drum, the thud of the bass drum, and the boom
of the tuba.
