About the Video: 

​

This video was part of a marketing project I developed with Branford Marsalis supporting the Ellis Marsalis Center For Music and Musicians Village. 

​

Along with fellow NOLA-native Harry Connick Jr., Branford Marsalis conceived of a low-income housing development known as Musicians' Village. Located in the Upper Ninth Ward and built by New Orleans Area Habitat for Humanity, Musicians' Village not only provides shelter to musicians displaced by Katrina, but it serves as a focal point for revitalizing the city's musical activities.

​

As part of this project, I'm proud that I was able to get Avid to make a substantial donation of recording equipment to fully supply the music education program offered at the Ellis Marsalis Center For Music.
